The Crash

I decided to make this into a book. Going Chapter by Chapter

      The sun glinted off of my hood as I stopped at a red light.  It was cold outside but warm inside the car as I had the heater kicked on.  My wife was sitting beside me and my daughter in the back seat playing on her game boy.  I was having the time of my life and could not think of anywhere else that I would rather be.

      The light turned green signaling us forward and I pushed on the gas pedal and my car started to move forward.  Only it was not forward that I would be moving as an 18 wheeler sped through the intersection, obviously ignoring the red light that was clearly in front of him.  He hit us with a force unlike any other and sent our car into the air.

      The world turned an ugly shade of black and I had no idea what was going on.  I heard a man vaguely in the back ground asking over and over again, "Are you OK?"  I wanted to shout at him, "Does it look like I am OK," but my mouth wouldn't seem to work so I ended up doing nothing.  Again the black covers all and than I am jolted awake as the blast of an adrenaline shot awakens me, and my first thought was,  Where is my wife and daughter?

     I reached for the nearest man and tried to ask about my family but my mouth was so parched that the only sound that I could muster was a feeble rustling sound.  The man eased a bottle of water in my mouth and I was relieved when I felt the cool water drench the back of my throat.

     It was than that I was able to muster two words.  "My Family?"

     The man looked at me with a look of pain and I new the words that came out of his mouth even before he said them.  "I am sorry but they did not make it."

    Hearing those words I gladly let unconsciousness take me once more.  I did not have anything else to live for.  My family was taken from me and I wanted nothing more than to be with them.  I gave up, however life had other plans for me.
