A short story.

It was a dark and stormy day. The last of the high schoolers were packing up and ready to head home. No one was prepared for what happened next. Phoebe* hopped into her car. Suddenly she had a thoughtful thought: she could back out to the shop and pick up Kendra, so she wouldnt have to walk through the rain! She jammed the spotless late-model Fusion into reverse. “Ha, I am so powerful!” she thought smugly to herself as she floored the gas. Smash! Clankpowyeeeech! Two mailboxes, a large metal shelf, and a water hydrant fell victim to her attack. In fact, the rear end of the car was on top of the metal table. The girl did not yet know any of this. It seemed like the car was going uphill! “But wait, I dont remember a hill here,” thought the bewildered girl. The bystanders were horrified. Phoebe quickly shoved the Fusion into Drive, and spun around for awhile. Finally, the car lurched forward. The girl, who was looking quite pale by now, careened very dazedly in circles, until she finally calmed down and screeched to a halt. She flung open the door and rushed over to the scene of the accident. Desperately, she attempted to set the large metal table on its legs. She stared in dismay at her mess…. There were, of course, several eyewitnesses. “I was terrified,” gasped one. “Mailboxes were flying through the air! My first thought was, ‘Am I going to be next?’” Luckily he escaped without sustaining any injuries.

the scene according to a witness.

P.S. Due to unusual amounts of murmurings and protests, i must admit that some of the details may be a tiny bit exaggerated. Therefore you should not believe anything you read in this post. Except the true stuff. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
