I finished my slurpee from 7-11

At the intersection, we push the crosswalk button so many times, it hurt

Sweaty from the ride there, but quickly refreshed by the artificially flavored ice

The walk sign popped into my face, I pushed ahead

I glance behind only to see a rusty white truck

I realize the truck is driving towards me, it sounds like a broken washing machine

I speed up so maybe I could dodge this white bullet

I did it! I thought for a brief second

The car knocked my back tire, my heart stopped from shock for a brief second, I flip through the air and my head breaks my fall

I wake up, groggy and confused, “where am I?” Who is that guy?” I thought.

I saw the overly bright headache provoking lights of an ambulance

My mom was so happy to see me safe
