"HEY WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" the man said as i accidentally knocked his coffee while i was riding my board to go to work.
"SORRY!!" i replied as I rode through the streets
i'm late to work, like so so late, fern is going to kill me, i bet he's so pissed right now, fumming with anger and smoke coming out of his ears, no i'm not exaggerating, just kidding, that dude is a scaredy cat, can't even talk to a woman, but since he's talking to me, i guess he doesn't see me as one?
i was about to speed through the road to avoid the stoplight, but as soon as i was about to pass the intersection a gronk came rushing towards me on my left out of nowhere, a gronk is a vehicle, i think it's called a truck on your days, just think of it floating shaped like a sphere
i wasn't fast enough to avoid it.
the world slows down as i was about to be hit by an imense force, i brace myself closing my eyes
"why is it taking so long?" i mumble to myself confused
"hey girl, you ok?" i gasped as i felt a man touching my shoulders
i felt my breathing getting heavier, i can't use up all my oxygen right now, my paycheck is on next week and i can't afford buying a new one it costs 500 rims, that's half my salary
i tried to calm myself as i looked through my sorroundings, confused, why am i here in front of the bakery shop, i passed by here before going to the intersection, and more importantly why am i not dead? is this the afterlife? if it is, this sucks, living another life with humans? you've got to be kidding me
"hey man, you look pale" i looked at the man who was speaking to me, and i was shocked to see the man i knocked onto before, does he have a twin?
"have i seen you before?" i asked confused looking at him up and down, analysing if he was the same man before, and he is definitely that man, he's wearing the same exact outfit, a black leather with no shirt, a khaki pants with a pair of platform boots, what a style
"not that i know of, it's my first time seeing you" what is happening?
"are you serious?" i asked
"do i look like i'm joking?" he's definitely not joking with that rbf
"oh sorry, i thought i know you" i apologized and continued to ride my board
"what just happened?" i asked myself
i was dumbfounded the entire time i was riding my board to work, did i just go back in time? was i just hallucinating because i'm sleep deprived?
am i on drugs? no i'm not, nah uh!
as i arrived at the convenience store, i saw fern with his hand on his waist waiting for me, yes, i work at a convenience store, what's wrong with that? At least I'm not a stripper.
"where have you been? i've been waiting for 1 hour dude" he said frowning at me
"oh, i just died you know, give me a break" literally, i died minutes ago, my life was flashing before me
"oh really?" he said sarcastically
"yes fern" i said
"okay krixia" he said rolling his eyes
he got his bag and left the store immediately, that guy will definitely not sleep tonight and drown himself in video games, what a life
i clipped my nametag and wore my working vest and cap, i hope it's a normal day and smooth sailing working hours
it kept bugging me, i can't get my mind off it, i felt fear within me, i felt death coming at that time, it's too vivid, i can't say that it wasn't real, i still felt how my heart beat raises as i saw it coming towards me, i thought that's it for me, i thought i'm done for
