It all started on 16th night of July , the night of my parents 20th wedding anniversary.
It's a wonderful, sunny day if memory serves. Surprisingly warm for before the beginning of spring.The beautiful weather was perfect for the atmosphere of the day - being married for 20 years is obviously a momentous occasion.so my parents booked table in our favourite Italian restaurant.
Ofcourse it was a formal occasion , I put my best suit on. It's exactly 5:33 I'm adjusting my tie and my phone went off- I'd received a text.Thats strange I thought , that never happens. I checked the text . That was from my mum. It was quite a jumble of numbers and letters but through vocabulary stew I could make out the legible phrase " please help me" . It should go without saying that this worried me greatly,so I immediately replied " are you okay?" Just as instantly, I got another text which read " oops! Pocket text" I sighed with all the relief I had and continued to prepare myself. A few minutes later, I received yet another text, this was from my dad. I checked the text and once again it was a massive mixture of letters and numbers,with the phrase " please help me" conceled within.creepy though this was,my dad was always a joker, so I presumed he was just joking around, until I was sent another text saying" oops! Pocket text" now this sparked panic. Pure unmistakable panic. Exactly half a minute passed when I recieved the exact same text from my sister. This could not be coincidental. It just couldn't.
In state of sheer anxiety, I started to run to the restaurant. I made it about a quarter of the way before I was stopped by a police officer," main roads closed", he said " huge car crash".
This was the exact moment I realised just what happened. I demanded to see the wreckage , a request I'm surprised was allowed , when I got there, it wasn't the remnants of the car that caught my eye, not the flames billowing from the destroyed vehicle. No , I was horrified to see the lifeless corpses of my dad , mum and sister.
I asked for the estimated time of their deaths - all of the three were killed instantly by the collision at 5: 32.
