It was my first try at sharing a morbid experience and the moment I was done, it was all wiped out by some technical problem.. argh. What an anti-climax. So here I go again.

As I was lying in bed at 9pm, I was kept awake by an active mind and a morbid imagination. You see, I was home alone because my parents were out and my sister had arranged to pick them up later that night. On that note, my mind began to explore all possibilities of what their ride home would be like. I then unexpectedly arrived at the most dreaded possibility of all - a traffic accident occurred and it took all three lives instantly.
As if that wasn't enough, I allowed myself to explore the situation further. Who'd I call should such a tragedy occur? For one, My ties with extended kin are weak, and my grandparents are no longer around. As such, I began to attempt at listing the names of friends whom I would and could call in the event of such an unexpected situation.
I considered all the possible candidates with my by-then alert mind and soon arrived at just two or three names. I then felt eased by the fact that there are people in whom I can trust in the possbile event of utter loss, brokenness and depair. I was comforted, knowing that I would never be alone, as abandoned as I may seem in such a tragedy.
Yet how strange and empty life would always be without the people - ridiculous and imperfect as they are - who have raised me into becoming the person that I am today.
