Writing The Car

[destro53]

This here is what we call a one-shot in 'the business'. In other words, don't ask me for another chapter or anything, cause all you'll get is laughed at.

I never saw the car

That moment seemed to last forever, yet last only an instant. The pain of shattering bones, the screams of the onlookers, the screech of brakes, the smell of burned rubber mingling with my sweats salty aroma. I flew for a moment, upward over the hood, over the top, landing behind it, the exaust choking me. The floating feelin was odd, my pain slowly fading into shock. I landed with a sickening thump, and my world faded into darkness.

The pavement was cold against my bare skin, i coughed once, twice, felt a thin stream of blood coming from my throat. I knew I was dying. I was ok with that. People die. I was cold. My arms were cold, legs were cold, everything was so cold. My brain blurred into nothing.

Suddenly it was as if a blanket had been wrapped around me. I felt a great warmth coming from outside me, like the temperture had suddenly shifted to a warm spring day. The wind lost it?s bite, becoming soft and springlike.

I felt like I was flying, soaring on wings that were not my own. My heart felt llight enough to float itself. Looking up I saw a beatiful face wreathed in golden hair smiling down at me. She looked at me, and in singsong voice told me, ?Your time is now, the hours past. I?ve come for you to bring you home.?

I look down at mt withered body. Time seems to suddenly blur, and I?m standing be my grave, my dead body slowly being lowered. My mother is crying. Oh she loved me so. In an instant I?m by her side, I grasp her shoulder, whisper words of comfort in her ear. A silent, solemn smile crosses her lips. She holds my father tight. I know his regrets. The times he forgot an event, the chances for bonding missed, but I don?t care. Love blossoms in my chest. I hug him, though he doesn?t respond, I can almost feel his heart lighten. They throw the dirt in, the final chapter is complete.

I look to my guide and nod. ?I?m ready,? as I float into love for eternity.
