"You could die at any moment."200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs30y7JzEfA
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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vw8MyWH5d
Without warning, an incredible impact from behind.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeFBbnm2vM
A deafening screech.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNGxFlokHS
Glass shattering.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKsZDmYh1E
Lights flashing.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhPRM0qPvA
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5u0NqnbTg
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0LhogUxbf
Then, there was stillness. A distant beeping of hazard warning lights going off.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNkWee1mM1
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?200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1nZxDJjRy
It always is. 200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNzUQAPECD
When I close my eyes, I'll wake up on my bed. 200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbs6vWqltc
Yeah. It must be. 200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5BS6yPeE5
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? 200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykMuEJVmrm
I muttered a string of curse words under my breath. I cursed them and their family.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloI2c4SzrN
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5M7bYaFGB
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. 200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyMts2PJbi
Not a good sign.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2phn9NeqhM
Fear started growing within me.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgr8zr4FBi
When are the police coming?200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKjDdpcDP7
Is this really the end?200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJMvZcDREZ
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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiaSmTsCA9
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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OqiKf2jAi

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. 200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxgT38PFqO
Will anyone else care if I'm gone?200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgWBO8uTab
At the end of the day, I never achieved anything. I came into the world with nothing, and I will leave with nothing.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlPBg5EzHt
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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c2k89KZHX
...What would he do without me? Would he be taken back to a shelter? Or to my parents? 200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEaOFE9QoV
Would he even be found?200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNloZWXqgG
It's funny that I would start caring as my life ends.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BP4T6HVJJ
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. 200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9JXWRuuN0
Sometimes, he would be limping when I came back from work, but I pretended I didn't notice.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7x9WdL07G
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. 200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G0rJnp0hz
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.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdHeGyAPEE
200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehYw4fsy61
He was always waiting.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FNV7uEjeD
Waiting for me to come home.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dLXfviiHu
Waiting for me to feed him.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9pwrKlPBC
Waiting for me to play with him, walk him, praise him.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmHkZIdIZT
...Yet I was frustrated at how needy he was being.200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD6T7a375e
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. 200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBCNjVacgD
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. 200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCjDsrpQwV
Please, don't wait for me.

My username, Char_charlie, is partly named after a dog my family has, "Charlie."200Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoFF4ZEB5Z
