Happy Almost-Death Day
Well as I may or may not have told you, I almost died today.
"How is such a thing accomplished?" you ask.
I shall tell you:
The car was parked across the street and I paused to say goodbye to someone, so my mother was already across when this happened.I looked both ways, and it appeared to be clear, so I started running across the street...
The next thing I know I see a shape speeding toward me in my peripheral vision. Something in my head screamed that I could make it across...but something else screamed stop
...which I did
I was deathly afraid that if I moved back I would get hit. So, this white SUV speeds by me, tires screeching and swerving not to hit me and it passes a foot and a half from me, and never stops.
I was just frozen in the middle of the road.I really don't know how I got across.
It wasn't even like "I'm gonna die" it was just like "oh shit"
The driver never stopped and barely slowed.
If I had taken one more step, I would have gone through his windshield, or under the car.
End
