1 1. I Died

I wasn't born lucky.The day my life started was also the day my mother's life ended.My father who loved my mother so deeply broke apart. He probably blamed me for my mother's death because immediately after being discharged he took me to my grandparents home and left me there only to end up hanging himself back at home.

Life with my grandparents was the happiest time of my life.We weren't so well off but we had enough and I was showered with love from both of them.

But that didn't last.

I was 10 years old when my grandma fainted in the kitchen while cleaning dishes.she was later diagnosed with late colon cancer and she had less than a month to live.That month me and my grandpa practically spent all our time in the hospital where my grandma was admitted.she told me alot of stories to cheer me up since she didn't want me as a child to feel something was wrong and it worked for sometime until two weeks later in the middle of the tale of the race of tortoise and hare she stopped talking in the middle and the next thing I knew was she had her eyes shut with a peaceful smile and the machines connected to her beeping loudly.

I continued living with my grandpa who tried his best to fill the gap left by grandma but it just wasn't enough. 8 years later my grandpa followed my grandma.

at that time I was 18 and could take care of myself without the need of foster care.i was close to finishing my highschool but I had no plans for the future I was just alive just to pass time till the day I die and life wanting to play a sick joke on me the day of my death approached.

I was walking home from school alone since I was basically an antisocial with no friends at school.As I was passing by a busy street I noticed a large truck from a distance coming at a high speed.Right then an elderly man walking with clutches started crossing the road.with the speed the truck was coming and how slow the man was walking with crutches I predicted he will definitely be hit.

I don't know what got me to run towards the man but I just found myself moving.seconds before the man was hit I pushed him forward and I remained waiting for the impact.at that moment everything moved at slow motion.i saw the truck coming at me ,I looked to the side and saw people gasping waiting for the crash, I looked across and saw the old man lying down at the sidewalk where I pushed him and I looked back to the truck which was about to gift me with death which I wasn't afraid of. Just before the truck smashed me I realized at the last moment that I actually didn't want to DIE and BOOOMMM!!!!there goes my miserable life which I started appreciating at the last moment.
