"You could die at any moment."403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJalvgPkwC6
I don't think any of us really understands this statement until someone close to you passes away suddenly, or you encounter a near-death experience yourself.
One second, I was driving on the highway as always.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLHQTaS1eW
Without warning, an incredible impact from behind.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WNGfyynU6
A deafening screech.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h5arWXEKl
Glass shattering.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwIRM8fUem
Lights flashing.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy1bIqOnxe
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH106fWNuNU
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc8fIuURRi
Then, there was stillness. A distant beeping of hazard warning lights going off.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTIX9JVzDF
Red stained my blurry vision, and my whole body throbbed. I could hear the sound of my own shallow breathing.
This is a dream, isn't it?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1978BYVrD
It always is. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cqKKkH78k
When I close my eyes, I'll wake up on my bed. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT4Dxl5tfF
Yeah. It must be. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwRBfQmJgu
Please let it be.
It wasn't.
You've got to be kidding me. What kind of irresponsible driver would crash into me full throttle? 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpqN457t6g
I muttered a string of curse words under my breath. I cursed them and their family.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO2IgYDxBi
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEtDH4aAJq
If only I had stopped at that yellow light two minutes ago. If only I had taken the bus. If only I had brought my umbrella. If only. If only time could rewind.
My body gradually started getting colder. A kind of numbness filled me, slowly swallowing my senses. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKBKHV9399
Not a good sign.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukM2KQhGFA
Fear started growing within me.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu7FtijoFa
When are the police coming?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvfJMYWDr9
Is this really the end?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8mhVYLFrJ
I can't die. I can't die like this. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutD1JXy5MR
My breaths grew quicker. At this point, I couldn't even move an inch of my body. All I could do was tremble in fear and in the cold.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK9gxOuLOg

What did I ever do with my life? There are so many more things I have to do. I need to read the ending of "Eleceed." I haven't finished writing my first novel yet. I haven't been to a club, nor drank a cocktail yet. I haven't travelled overseas by myself yet. I...
I haven't said "I love you" to my parents.
But they'll be fine, won't they? They've got Sara. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwFv4gsU0C
Will anyone else care if I'm gone?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tmVuSYuJf
At the end of the day, I never achieved anything. I came into the world with nothing, and I will leave with nothing.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB10D1WnDNa
It's not like I was a particularly kind person, either. I wonder... did I ever make an impact in someone's life?
Ah.
Steven.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRFQGfRDOH
...What would he do without me? Would he be taken back to a shelter? Or to my parents? 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaIE9YnP35
Would he even be found?403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrh6hOHFjDN
It's funny that I would start caring as my life ends.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wlhJ3QUAJ
I wasn't a good owner or anything. I got him on impulse at the shelter, but once I got busy, I would neglect him. Hand him over to my roommate. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡry4vosDVU9
Sometimes, he would be limping when I came back from work, but I pretended I didn't notice.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1nPY5PzF1
However, when I felt like playing with him again, he had the happiest smile on his face, making a sense of guilt wash over me. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJGGaurKsb
I would often take my frustrations out on him when I had a bad day. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, he would always curl up beside me to sleep, as if nothing had happened.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNSx5JOPT5
403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGweEUbdPN
He was always waiting.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OhrwiNCJT
Waiting for me to come home.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQNPN2WF55
Waiting for me to feed him.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzeGpyjizA
Waiting for me to play with him, walk him, praise him.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyTd5tRi3y
...Yet I was frustrated at how needy he was being.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8hscALcYJ
Despite the fact that he was always there for me. When I felt sad, he would whimper and lick my face. At the lowest points of my life, he was there when no one else was.
I should've done more for you. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1mkrTYVIQ
I should have rushed home every day. I should have taken you out for more walks. I shouldn't have scolded you so much. I should have bought more toys for you.
I'm sorry.
So this time. 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOAsFFThqv
Please, don't wait for me.
