THE FUSE

I was racing across an alien world, just a few seconds away from crossing the finish line, when I lost traction and hit a large hill at a strange angle. No worries, though; I could just use my thrusters to reorient my intergalactic dune buggy to save me from a nasty crash. It was at that moment that I realized I had used up the last bit of my thruster fuel. I smashed hard into the ground and had to restart. Next time, I’ll be a bit more careful.
