An Unextraordinary Lemon-less Life

Why don't I smell lemons?

That's the last thing I remember thinking. I read somewhere that right before you die, you're supposed to smell lemons. I don't really know how credible that is, but that's what I thought about anyway.

I vaguely remember two blinding headlights and mom screaming from the passenger seat. The ambulance ride was a blur. A lemonless, life-altering blur.

It's weird. How one minute you can be passionately singing along to an underrated rock song, and the next, planning a funeral for your mom. Your single mom. Pretty much the only family you've got.

They told me it was a drunk driver. Killed in the accident. I didn't know how to feel about that.

I technically died that night. For three minutes and forty-two seconds.

Anyways, that was three years ago.
