car crash

Hey come with me , she said. I can’t I am trapped I said shaking my head.

Here she said come here I am holding this door open and your way is clear.

I moved towards her and I took her hand, she had a fearsome grip come she said you’ll be just grand.

Minutes before it had been a normal day, on my way to work another week just to get my pay.

I was just driving normally when I saw this car coming at me from the other way.

He over took a lorry and hit a central bollard, hard. As I saw the bottom of his car sailing towards me I thought.” I’ve been dealt the final card!

My door is stuck fast and I see smoke. I begin to panic, come on , come on she said , move to me there is no need to get manic. I do as I am bid though I don’t hold out much hope.

She is right , this bright young thing . She helps me to the curb, there is blood all down my legs funny their don’t even sting. The police are here now and an ambulance followed by a fire engine.

Everyone is running round and as my car bursts into flames the fireman start to shout. They are forcing my car door open I start screaming at them, ” its all right I am here, I am out.”

They don’t listen nor do they see me , then as they stand I can’t believe my eyes I am in the drivers seat ………… I’ve died?

So who are you I ask. Feeling so confused and scared , I am Death she smiled. “who” I asked, again she smile and whispered you heard!

You don’t look like death I said , you are too young you can’t be Death if you are Death, that would mean that I am dead. She put her arm around me and smiled at me and said “I am sorry, none of that was your fault. Now off with me you now head”

There was no point in arguing and she did look so very kind. There was nothing else I could do. I really do not want to leave this world but I am dead and that is true.

I like you car, is it new? I have only had it a day or is it two. I love the colour is it blue? Well they call it Azure. Do you know the road well ? Yes I have been down it a thousand times for sure, it is the road that leads right to my door.

Did you get all your presents the shops are such a crush? I did, I did I even got my sister that amazing eye make up brush. And the festive food is that all in hand? Yes and a good thing too as I am cooking this year as planned .

Look who are all those people talking to the police? OMG That is my family they’ve all come out even brought my baby niece. They may of heard the noise of the crash my husband does look pale why is he acting so rash.

I think I had better talk to him before he starts to cry! No, hang on my friend you have to come with me……….. WHY? You have crashed the car my love and you are just about to die. Surely you are joking I am standing here with you, sorry it has been good to chat but I have so much to do.

Tell me what is the last thing you remember before our chat? Well I was concentrating very hard because of all the snow then I had to swerve to miss the cat. It all went black and then, I just don’t know.

OH! my what a commotion they are all in tears and right outside the garden gate the neighbours have not had so much to look at for years. Help I feel so cold and so very weak , is that me inside the car, I just look asleep. Come now my friend I am with you now at your end.I shall guide you now that your earthly life is at an end.

Will they all recover will they manage without me . Don’t worry they will all cope, you can even watch and see.Now just relax and lean your head on me, I have seen you’ve always been kind and you always talk with me. I really do not want to leave them are you really sure. I am my dear friend now come with me just through this open door.
