Close To Death

It started pouring down rain on my drive home at 2am one night. I pretty much said, “Oh Shit!” and came-to pinned to my steering wheel with my roof. Apparently I skidded into the ditch, played ping pong with the local trees, and ended up in a swamp. It was freezing rain, I couldn’t move, and I didn’t have anyway of getting help. I knew I was hurt, but I didn’t know how bad. I had a shotgun next to me I tried to reach for. I was going to shoot out the windshield, and pray someone called the law for hearing gun shots. BTW my truck was filling with rainwater, and I thought drowning was possible at this moment. Another 6″, and I could have reached the gun, but it never happened. That’s all I remember until I woke up in ICU.

But yeah, being pinned to my steering wheel, not knowing why, having freezing rain pour on me, and being stranded on a road with very little traffic, I knew I was fucked!
