The day was sultry. My brother, Ryan and I were outside, sweating. We heard the magical sound of the ice cream truck. We asked our parents for money, and waited outside and waited and waited some more. The truck never crossed our street, so we mounted our bikes and took off in pursuit of the ice cream truck. As we raced through the streets, as we approached an intersection a car had speed in...BAM the wheel of my bike slammed into the rim of the front right tire. I flipped over my handlebars; my body struck the hood of the vehicle denting it. My head had shattered the windshield.The momentum of the moving car had launched me forward and airborne.Everything went black. During my flight, I was petrified. I had been hit by a car,

    At 80 miles per hour, the 1968 candy apple red Corvette streaked effortlessly through the gentle curves near the edge of Texas hill country.  It wasn’t a loud sound.  Not loud enough to frighten him, but it was loud enough for him to take notice and fill him with anxiety.  He immediately clenched the steering wheel a little harder as a wave of near panic shot up his spine.  Then, just as quickly as it surfaced, it subsided.  A slight, but unusual vibration began to emanate from somewhere within the heart of the car, or so it seemed.  He glanced in the rear view mirror, saw there were no vehicles for as far as he could see, and decided that he would pull the car over to the shoulder.  At that precise moment, the concrete ribbon twisted sharply to the right in a nasty hairpin curve.  It snaked around in a desperate curl that’s caught him by complete surprise, and he stupidly mashed the brake pedal much too hard.  The tires screamed noisily as they painted heavy streaks of hot black rubber on the narrow concrete roadway.  The tail end of the car began to swing around, and instinctively he twisted the wheel to the left to steer into the skid.  This action was now bringing him too close to the left-hand shoulder where large, protruding boulders threatened destruction to his car.  Just a few feet beyond the rocks, the road dropped off into a deep; seemingly bottomless chasm.  He cursed aloud for allowing the turn to surprise him. Then just before the unavoidable crash into the rocky shoulder, he took his foot off the brake, turned hard to the right and with earnest passion, stomped hard on the gas pedal.

  • A Day at the Norton Simon Museum

    1220 Words  | 3 Pages

    It was the day of April 13, 2000. I woke up at exactly 12 o’clock because my boyfriend was to pick me up at 1 like we planned the night before. The day looked quite nice, but I was in a fowl mood. I got into a car accident the night before and had a huge argument with my parents about the car. I finally dragged myself into the shower and got ready in half an hour. Then I went downstairs, sat on my couch, and repeatedly told myself the day would hopefully turn out better than last night. At around 1:15, my boyfriend came to pick me up. We took the 5 freeway to the 57 since it was the only way I knew how to get there. As we approached the 134 freeway, my girlfriend veered to the right, taking the 210 which was wrong way and got us lost. So, we exited the freeway and got back on the right track. Then finally, before long, we reached Norton Simon.

Distractions while driving can include anything from the use of social media on a cellular phone, messing with a navigation system, brushing one's hair, speaking to the passengers, or eating a big mac. In my situation, I was toying with the music in my car. I was dissatisfied with the current song so I decided to switch it up. I was at a stoplight so at the time I thought it would be okay for me to change the song. But within the timespan of a blink of an eye, my foot went off the brake and I rear-ended the car in front of me. I was following the car way too closely so by the time I realized my foot had wavered I already made a mark on the car ahead of me. I wanted to fist bump to

    As I walked out of the courthouse and down the ramp, I looked at my mom in disappointment and embarrassment. Never wanting to return to that dreadful place, I slowly drug my feet back to the car. I wanted to curl up in a little ball and I didn't want anyone else to know what I had done. Gaining my composure, I finally got into the car. I didn't even want to hear what my mom had to say.

    With music blasting, voices singing and talking, it was another typical ride to school with my sister. Because of our belated departure, I went fast, too fast. We started down the first road to our destination. This road is about three miles long and filled with little hills. As we broke the top of one of the small, blind hills in the middle of the right lane was a dead deer. Without any thought, purely by instinct I pulled the wheel of the car to the left and back over to the right. No big deal but I was going fast. The car swerved back to the left, to the right, to the left. Each time I could feel the car scratching the earth with its side. My body jolted with the sporadic movements of the car. The car swerved to the right for the last time. With my eyes sealed tight, I could feel my body float off the seat of the car.

    I can remember that terrible day, when I was riding my bike down my street, and I was having a grand time going up people's driveways and speeding back down. It was a warm summer's day around noontime, and I was on my way home for lunch. I was alone, and I was no more than a mile from my house. I went up this very steep driveway and began to turn around to get that omnipresent rush of going so fast down a hill that I felt like I was flying. I opened my eyes to see a car pulling up the driveway just ahead of me. I jammed on my handlebar brakes, but it was too late, and before I could do anything, I was actually flying through the air. I landed on my head, and to this day I don't remember what happened after my collision with that very inhospitable surface known as the road.

    As you are stopped at a stoplight impatiently waiting for the light to turn, you glance into the review window to check on your younger brother or sister in the back seat. When you elevate your eyes just a few inches further up, you see a car hurtling towards you. Not stopping, not slowing down. The driver looking downward at their lap. Your heart rate and your breathing increase as you think about at a way to get the drivers attention or to maneuver out of their way. Right before you blink you make eye contact with the driver as they look up and realize that they need to stop. The noise of the tires as they scorch the ground leaving pieces of itself behind filling the air as the driver attempts to stop in time, but it 's useless. As you brace for impact and pray to anyone that will listen that your little sister will be okay, the car collides with you from behind, you still aren 't expecting the feeling of your body being thrown forward towards the steering wheel and for the seat belt to tighten around body, your right foot releases the brake causing you to be pushed forward into the middle of traffic. The confusion and fear that courses through your body slows your reaction
