Mom, Dad, what happened? staring out through the shattered windshield, trying hard to rememer, images of going to fast, the other car, slam of the brakes, the glass breaking. Mommy, Daddy, I hurt, the pain is so bad, feel something running down my face, hurts to turn my head, but I need to find Jimmy, there he is, eyes wide open, blood everywhere, he's not breathing, oh, now I get it. Mom, Dad, to the rescue, see them outside the car, struggling to open the crumpled door, fear written on their faces, Hey, don't be scared, Mom, it'll be all right, hmm, I smell smoke. Mom, Dad, don't leave me, watching them run from the car, please don't leave me, panic erupts inside me, as the flames erupt around me. In a clear second, my entire life is in my mind's eye, triumphs, sadness, laughter, decisions, both good and bad, wash over me, cleansing my soul, tears trickle down my cheeks. Mom, Dad, I love you, goodbye.Birth sign: Taurus
