Down Western Road

I passed twp kids messing about on skateboards. One was sitting down, leaning against a wall, the other on the board itself. I wasn't paying that much attention. The one on the skateboard fell, and his board - at a remarkable speed - sped into the road. It somehow got tangled in the wheels of a car. The car sped off, and I think I heard a crack - of the skateboard presumably. The car didn't stop - maybe didn't even  notice. The boy retrieved his skateboard, and his friend erupted into peals of uncontrollable laughter. Am unfiorgiving sound, harsh and unpleasant. The laughter rang on as I walked down Western Road.
