18 Wheeler

My heart smiled as

I watched my 16 year old

brother drive. He was doing

everything perfect.


He did not miss a sign

nor fail to even turn on

his blinker when he

changed lanes.


We soon got on the highway.

It was a beautiful day, but

people began to drive as if

the apocalypse just happened.


People's engines ripped as

they flew by us. Others jerked

their car into other lanes with

no signal. It felt as if we were

on a roller coaster.


Before my brother and I

knew it everyone was speeding.

Not just speeding, but going at

a deadly rate.


My brother was trying to follow

the crowd, because if we didn't,

we could get hurt and possibly die.


I looked out the window to

the left and saw an 18 wheeler

roar behind another.

He did not slow down.


He crashed into the back and it

was like everything happened in

slow motion. I never imagined an

impact could cause such a loud

torturous sound. As I watched the

18 wheeler, the front of his truck

began to squish in as he came

into contact. It was like watching

two soda cans crush into

eachother with ease.


The impact must have knocked

the driver unconscious because

the truck began to shift in the lane.

Resulting in this, his large truck

veered in a unstoppable pace to

left of the highway. It was such a strong

and fast force, it appeared as if a

large magnet was hidden beneath

the concrete wall in the middle of the

highway.


Right when this collision happened,

my brother went full throttle. It happened

so fast, he was trying to protect us.

As we sped up, a car infront of us

slammed on the breaks.


I moved uncomfortably and

anxiously in my seat as I grabbed

a firm grip of the one infront of me.

I let out a scream. When I opened

my eyes, I saw only a large vehicle

right infront of us. We never hit.


Soon my body woke me up

at regular time. I lifted my arm

above my covers to glance at

my wrist. My Fitbit read 8:27.

I remembered my dream and

lay starring at the ceiling as it

replayed in my head.
