An Overwhelming Catastrophe.

Blurry vision, shielding me from the truth
Too real for my eyes to comprehend;
I’m dizzy from all the commotion.
My head sways with fatigue.
Knees buckling with pressure;
Sweat beads on my forehead.
I hear voices, but can’t understand.
Snapping into consciousness,
I can feel my veins now.
My mother to my left, sister behind me…
Who’s that through the windshield?
Leaning over awkwardly,
For a brief moment, pure silence takes over my mind.
I look around to check everything.
And out of the corner of my eye.
My mother lets out a loud gasp.
Blood flowing freely from her mouth;
This can’t be happening I think.
Sirens grind my eardrums like sandpaper.
Bending metal sends shivers down my spine.
Tunnel vision setting in, I grab my mothers hand.
Even though she couldn’t hear me now,
I still told her I loved her.

This came across as a horrific, true-life experience! Oh, Preston, I hope that none of you were seriously injured.

Your description of the event was so vivid! I could picture the whole dreadful scene! ~ I could feel the horror!

Be well,
Linda
