Death

The sound of whistling.

The road between the stores an houses of people was empty and faint fog covered the air.

I could feel cool air on my skin.

It was early in the morning and I was walking on the street.

Why am I walking in this cold, you ask?

Simple. The cool atmosphere with no people around me was just pleasant.

I came from the city to my home, my birth place that was yet not much developed to spend time with my parents.

I have got holidays from college, you see.

Nothing beats spending time with my parents in my home, and this place is nice too.

The land on which I am walking is covered, more or less, by ocean water.

Yes, my home is on an island.

It's not big at all, the population is 10,000 something. This place is an attraction for tourists. Habitants of this island, like my father and mother, are surviving, and currently growing because of the daily visits of tourists.

I was walking for straight 1 hour, whistling.

And now I was heading to my home, whistling. Honestly, I like whistling.

Anyways, my line of vision fell straight into the path in front of me.

And then suddenly, I started hearing the rapid sound of a moving vehicle.

The fog cleared up, or rather the vehicle got in such a distance from me where I could see it very clearly.

The vehicle revealed itself to be a big, jet-black truck. And as it got closer to me, the sound of its engine increased.

The driver was driving the truck in a high speed. So, obviously to be safe, my body started to move towards the highly lavished house besides me.

However, the engine of that speedy truck suddenly roared like a beast and the truck started coming towards me with a blinding speed.

It was coming with such speed that I could feel a light breeze on my whole body emanating from it.

As I previously mentioned that I started moving towards the nearest house, actually it was just that my body barely twitched to go towards the house.

Meaning that the house is still far from me. Even if I jump near the house, the 'big' truck would surely crush me.

I said it would 'crush' me because with the unbelievable speed the truck was rushing towards me, it was hard to believe that the driver(who could see me) had any intention to slow down. And it seemed I wasn't wrong in that assumption.

The wheels in my mind suddenly began to turn. My body twitched again but this time, it did for some other reason.

As my body was facing the truck, I gathered strength in my right hand and raised it towards the truck. My brain caused adrenaline to course through my blood and I braced my body for the coming action.

As the truck, in a very few moments, came into a distance that left very few metres between it and myself.

I outstretched my right hand and gripped a long metal part of the moving truck strongly and pushed myself upwards with as much strength as I could into the air.

My body turned upside down going up through the air. And all this happened in an instant.

My goal was to land on the head of the jet-black mass, which would seem impossible to many people.

I was going through the air and I started feeling the effects of gravity to take place. I just barely reached the front window and the truck was very close to my face. My heart was beating madly.

Right now, that amazing jump of mine seemed like a desperate attempt to save my life.

And it seemed now that I would really die.

Suddenly, the time seemed to slow down. Though that may be because of the fear of death or that indescribable fear which etched itself into my soul when I glanced upon the eery scene of the truck getting driven by no one..

As the truck seemed to gently and slowly touch my body, excruciating pain slowly thundered through my body and finally, my consciousness collapsed.

'Baam'

The sound of flesh slamming against glass.

The body of the unfortunate person clashed with the truck and comically got thrown away from the truck in a wide arc.

His neck twisted, his body rolled and his bones broke with an unpleasant sound.

Simply, he died.

However, death is not the end, its just the beginning. Well for this guy, anyway.
