The road stretched on and on. Not a soul in sight. I looked around and the barren landscape stared back at me. The heat was oppressive. How long had I been going? Hard to say, but I was determined not to lose my nerve. I could not stop thinking about what had happened. My head was spinning. There was no point going back to the car. I picked up my bag again and went on.
Friday, the start of a promising weekend, father told us we have to get ready to visit our grandparents in other city. Unfortunate, plan didn’t go as we planned. We were ready, my sister and me packed everything up when my dad went to garage to check his car. Stuff packed, car all clear, and there we goes. We talked a lot in car just about how we going to spend our time together, with grandma and grandpa in this big weekend. Few hours after, we had to gas the car up because dad forgot.. We also picked up some food, chips and some flowers to surprise them when we arrive.. How did dad crash? Everything seemed to be fine just a few minutes ago, I passed out, and believed everybody passed out for a while. I was the first person to wake up, now I remember, this is a country road, there must be many rocks, maybe even some small cactus blew our car tires. I woke my dad, mom and sister up, get them to be calmed took me quite some time. No point getting back to the car, it’s too damaged, engine wouldn’t work. Lucky, we were just few miles away from the city, there might be someone can help us if we stay close to the road and wait. Patient, we waited for hours, then there comes a truck full of banana, I guess he was just a transporter from town to town, but he was kind enough to decide to help us. We arrived at my grandparents’ house, words can’t tell how happy they were after hearing our little “ experience “ of life after that one, but we agreed to stay for extra week to spend more time and also to calm my sister, mother’s trauma down, they seemed to be really scared. Interesting experience, the accident didn’t really hurt us all that much, but now we know what to do when similar thing happens, hopefully not though.
