Don't text and drive

It's too distracting

By Maddy HaywoodPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Driving to work

Stop-start

Traffic.

Running late, try to hurry

Check with the boss

Text, quickly, only a moment-

I've lost control, wheels spinning

Off road

Not stopping...

Maddy Haywood

Hi there! My name's Maddy and I'm an aspiring author. I really enjoy reading modernised fairy tales, and retellings of classic stories, and I hope to write my own in the future. Fantasy stories are my go-to reads.
