Deja Vu

An Initial D fanfiction. Each chapter is based off of a photograph from a 1990s Japanese street racing blog.

"I had lived foolishly. I felt that when I passed along the familiar landscapes of the 101. I recalled the family road trip we had taken from Los Angeles to visit our relatives in San Francisco and all the road trips to Las Vegas, too. I'm not ashamed to say that tears fell as I parked on the side of the ride by the ocean and saw a sunset in strange colors reflected on crystal water. I didn't deserve this life, which I had thrown here and there like a plastic bag of shredded paper. Light and of no consequence. Inscrutable and useless to everyone. I wasn't trash, but I was a once useful and comprehensible thing deliberately destroyed."
