Creative Writing: Solomon's Death

Solomon was rapidly driving down the road on a dark, wet day. He was visibly angry and wore a scowl on his face, teeth clenched and eyes narrowed. Solomon heard an important message on his phone, so he reached behind his seat to grab it. While he was distracted, his truck slammed into a large pool of water in the road and hydroplaned into a metal guardrail. His truck smashed the guardrail and flipped twice before careening down a steep, muddy hill. Solomon closed his eyes and breathed a deep sigh, almost as if life had stopped for an instant. He briefly pondered over what had lead up to this event and how afraid he was of dying prematurely. This event is important because it illustrates an important message for many people, you never know

Solomons crimson, lifeless body was lifted onto a gurney and was placed into a black bodybag. Upon searching the truck, the police found Solomon’s phone with a frantic Nikki on the other end screaming and crying. Nikki knew that something was wrong since Solomon didn’t answer her, she heard the deafening crash of the accident. When the police officer explained to her that a man had drove off the edge of a hill and was pronounced dead on arrival she burst into tears and screamed like an ambulance siren. She couldn’t believe that Solomon had died so shortly after an argument and felt like she was to blame. Her hands clenched like a vise grip and she wretched acrid vomit onto the floor. She looked pale and sickly, she was in shock that her one true love had died. She regretted all the arguments they ever had and wished she could go back in time and just hold him when they started fighting. She remember the feel of his muscular arms on her shoulders when he hugged her, the way his beard tickled her when they kissed, and his soothing voice reassuring her that everything would be okay. She knew now that she would never be able to love him

Nikki and Solomon loved each other deeply and shared an unbreakable bond many couples do not. The last voice Solomon heard was Nikki’s, “Solomon, I found the ring and I love you, I do want to marry you, I want to spend my whole life with you and I’m sorry, please come back.” Solomon urged to grab his phone and tell her how much he loved her and how he would hold her dearly when he was with her, yet Solomon was driving without a seatbelt at a rapid pace on a dark, wet day. Solomon payed the ultimate price, his life. It left him bloody and broken, how he felt on the inside when he thought of losing Nikki. This event may have been worst-case scenario, yet the same rule applies; you never know what you have until you lose
