Good Morning Everyone, <<<<<<<<<Tissue Alert>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Really hard story! There are those stories that come my way which I won't make any comments about because they are just to powerful of a story. This is one of them... Todays Story: I still can't believe this happened to me. I mean you see it in the news read about it in the papers, but it'll never happen to you. Right? But it can, you're no more important then those you read and see in news and papers. I can't believe it happened to me though. It's one of those things you don't think about everyday. You think it won't happen to you today.But you're no god and you're not immortal all you are is a naive human being. I just can't comprehend this, the biggest shock of my life. I can't belive I'm dead. I had so much to live for. I'm only 15. I had a date this friday. I had to baby-sit this weekend. I just can't be dead!I-I-I-I-I can't be dead! Sometimes I think it's just a dream, a horrible nightmare, but I'll wake in the moring, of course I don't. I'll never ever wake-up again. I still can't believe I'm dead I was just coming home from a party becuase the football team won a really important game. They were now in the finals and had a good chance of being the champions. Well,after awhile someone brought out the beer and everyone stared to sdrink except me. People were beginning to get drunk so I decided to leave. I didn't live that far away and decided to walk it's only 4 blocks and this a safe neighborhood,too. Well, I was crossing the street when a car from the party didn't see the stoplight and I didn't see them until it was too late. The impact of the car against my small body was like a hammer hitting a fragile egg. I was thrown in the air and landed on the side walk about 10 feet away. The sounds were horrible the squealing of brakes, the crash of the car behind the first one, the shattering of glass, the screams and sobs, the sirens,the doctors examing my body saying I would never survive, the yells of the guy who was driving the car as he refused to take the tests. It was all so horrible I lay there in a puddle of blood all my own amid the debris of broken glass. Shards of glass were stuck in my body.I don't know how long I laid there all alone. It was probably only a few minutes, but it seemed like years . When the ambulance arrived the voices were distant and far away though they were no more then two feet away from me. I prayed I would make it that I wouldn't die. But my breath was growing shorter the voices even more distant I knew I would die. I couldn't tell my parents good-bye or that I loved them. It was too late for that. I couldn't even move let alone speak. My parents had to come to the morgue and identfy me. I still see my father's face when he said yes that's me daughter. The way it twisted like a little child's when they fall and scrape their knee.He started to sob and my mother could do nothing to comfort him because she was also sobbing. I can't believe I hurt them so much.I was just walking home the other guy was drunk not me. Please,I'm not dead. The funeral was horrible I laid there so quiet and peaceful in the dress my mom bought for my first highschool dance. I would never wear the beautiful dress again. I had no idea she bought until then. My mother kept saying that's not my baby! It's can't be! My friends all walked past me some touching my hand or saying good-bye. All had tears in their sad and painful eyes. They buried me on a rainy afternoon it seemed as if the whole world mourned my death along with my friends, family,and reletives. It the perfect day to match our moods. The priest said I was in heavan and would always be in everyone's hearts forever till we all meet once again in heavan. I've been gone all most a year now, but I still can't believe I'm really dead. My grave always has flowers and my friends sit there and tell me about dances and parties and who is going out with who. Everythime they leave they all leave crying even after all this time. My grave has flowers and balloons on my birthday and a small christmas tree at Christmas. I know I can never be brought back again because someone was so stupid to drink and drive. But maybe someone will not drink and drive when they see this and someone may be saved because of this. That's all I want now is to save other's from the horrible and premature death I suffered through. Just please I beg of you never drink and drive the consequences will be with you forever. THE END, Sarah Schweitzer Have a safe day all !! wb
