My life flashed before my eyes. The wind on my face, I could have sworn my nose touched part of the metal. Although the truck did not turn me into roadkill, my body was in pain as if it was on fire. Maybe I was supposed to die in the accident. Yet as I cheated death, my body punished me. I fell face first on the road with excruciating pain. I closed my eyes wishing to pass out and stop the pain. Luckily, my wish came true.
I awoke in a place I thought was heaven, unfortunately it was just the infirmary. The pain had gone, I moved a little. “Ouch!” I cried out, the pain returned. Perhaps I should have just sat still. A doctor came in and gave me an injection. I closed my mouth as the needle was inserted and removed, I tried moving. I felt no pain. The doctor spoke in an alien language which I presumed to be Spanish, when he realized I didn’t understand he took out his phone and translated his speech.
He showed me his phone and I read the text, many medical terms like “triglycerides” and “phospholipids” but I got the gist of it. The fear from the incident gave me a full body cramp. I was carried by a trio of strangers who were generous enough to pay for the bills. The doctor gave me a look that said “you can leave”. I got out and expected the trio to be repayed for the bills, however, nobody was there. I checked my wallet and saw nothing was stolen. I was touched and decided to donate to charity.
