Back Bone

4TH Dream

"You should have taken that left!" Mom screams at dad as he maneuvers the mountains.

"No Ann I turn left in two miles." Dad says to mom

"Jay you're wrong"

"Ann are you driving" dad says poking his vein back into his head. "Check the map Tyke." I hate it when he calls me Tyke.

"You turn left in 2 miles" I say reluctantly

"Ha Ann!" dad said.

"Ok Jay laugh it up." Mom said.

Mom and i were talking when i heard the peculiar sound of a horn. I look up to see a 16 wheeler barreling over the hill. Dad threw us to the right, into the guard rails, which couldn't hold our sedan throwing us off a cliff. i didn't want to see what was happening. As the car flipped i felt almost weightless. this feeling of despair was looming over me as the car landed on the hood and flipping on the roof. i watched as mom gets decapitated by a piece of the guard railing and dad get impaled by a chainlink fence post at the bottom of the cliff.

"Mom, Dad are you ok?" I ask hoping for a response but i knew the answer. "Mom?" i said as i put my hand on her shoulder, but there was no response. I pulled my hand off as i felt a thick liquid coat my hand. I already knew what this was, But i hate the sight and smell of blood. She was dead.

"Tyke" I heard dad say as he was coughing up blood "I'm sorry tyke, I wish i could have been a better father."

"Dad dont say that, you're going to make it."

"Tyke, Look at me. I'm not going anywhere. There is no where else i'd like to die than aside my wife, but there is still time for you. My time ran out. Here soon the roof is going to collapse and crush me, So crawl out and get some help. It's too late for me. Get out and go. I love you son".

"Dad I..."

"GO!"

I crawl out of the back window getting multiple cuts on my hands, arms, legs and my throat.i step back as the car collapse. Dad lets out a blood curtailing scream. i just learned the absolute worst feeling anyone could feel. Helplessness. The chaos came to a horrifying end as the screaming stopped. The only thing left was me and my thoughts

"No how can this happen. No. No. No. No. NOO!!!!" i break down as a helicopter comes to the rescue. I spent three years in therapy from the shock.

I open my eyes, tears pouring out. i wanted to get up but i felt heavy, and warm. i look ahead and see lilly asleep on my chest. at least your here.

"Lilly, Lilly, wake up." I say shaking her gently.

"Oh hi ,Danny are you feeling better?" she says slowly waking up.

"Yes."

"Good. lets go downstairs. I'm getting sick, get it, of this room"

"Sometimes, I hate you." Lilly says getting off my bed and heading downstairs. I follow her.
