The Decisions We Make
It's strange, the decisions we make and the different consequences we face because of those decisions...I could have worked yesterday, I chose not too... I could have stayed in the house yesterday, but I took my mom's car out for a drive...I saw the huge truck blocking the view of the street, looked at the alley, "I could turn down the alley she thought" , "Nah, Harford road is dead right now, hardly any cars" So I approach the road, look left, look right, let the car that I saw pass. So I start the creap out, still can't see, still creaping, creaping, "It's been long enough she says, no cars are coming" I start to make the turn...PLOW
And I'm spinning, up on two wheels, the drivers side door is smashed in, the drivers side window is shattered, I'm heading for the office building to my right, but I hit a tree and that stops me and brings me back down on all four wheels...
The insurance comanys (mine and the girl I hit) haven't placed blame yet, however, the huge truck that was parked on a bus stop, in a no parking zone, got the ticket. I nor the girl got a ticket. This is gonna get ugly, that trucking company is in trouble and those drivers will hopefully be fired, the word sue comes to mind.
Oh, I am fine, exept I'm paralized from the hip down (j/k, my neck is sore and that's it, ha ha, sorry if you didn't think that was funny) I honestly don't know how I got out of that car in the condition that I did, the people that saw the accident were shocked I could even move.
The other horrible thing is that my mom's car, totalled. And the insurance company will only pay her what the car is worth, and that isn't much and who knows if we'll even get anything out of the trucking company or even if my parents will try to.
All I know is that that tree saved my fucking life. This was no huge tree, a little tree, probably like 2 or 3 years old. I knocked it completely out of the ground, it was under my car. If that tree wasn't there, I would have rolled, as in my car completely tumbling, right into that building, literally. I'm seriously thinking about going up there and planting another one...A life for a life
