Still no ideas for a fanfic good enough to put on this site, but I just had to post this update on what I witnessed today.
I was taking my lunch break at work, and I was walking on the side of a busy road so I could go to the local Cumberland Farms, then I saw this car stop short right at the entrance to their parking lot.
The car in back of them must’ve been distracted, because they quickly swerved out of the way in order to avoid a collision. But then that car swerved all the way into a ditch a few feet up from me! I could hear large branches snapping and I knew that this person would need help, so I rushed over and knocked on the drivers door.
The poor woman was in shock.
I asked her if I should call the cops, because the entire front of her car was totaled, the tires all tangled and entwined with tree roots and vines. She nodded, I contacted the authorities and they showed up within 30 seconds.
They asked me if I had been in the car when it happened.
I, of course wasn’t so I told them the whole story. They quickly got the woman out of the car and thanked me for calling so quickly. When it was clear to me that the police did not need my help anymore, I crossed over to Cumberland Farms to get some snacks, a lot of people there who’d heard the police sirens started asking me what had just gone down.
By the time I was heading back to the place where I work, they were getting the woman into an ambulance stretcher.
I know for a fact she was shaken, but I think she’s definitely going to pull through.
I’m just glad I was in the right place at the right time to help when I did…
