chapter 2: My death: Trucksan

I was panting heavily when I finally arrived at the door to the apartment i'm supposed to deliver the first takeout. I rang the doorbell to the apartment , waiting for the occupants of the apartment to get their delivery. A petite young lady came out, she had soft features ,she smiled at me and stretched out her hands for the takeouts.

'Thank you' , she said as she signed my journal and paid for the takeouts .

when she closed her apartment door, I stood there still mesmerized by the lady's beauty. She was really beautiful , I am not a pervert but I admire beautiful people.

It has been a long time I stopped dating, so being attracted to a beautiful lady was inevitable.

The sun was really hot today and I was sweating profusely like an athlete in a marathon. I was up for my last delivery.I climbed off my bike and took out the last takeouts to be delivered. my destination was across the Expressway . so I had to cross to the other lane to deliver the takeouts.

Please sign here sir, I said to the middle aged man who owned the delivery ,after he signed and paid I turned around to leave .

I looked left and right as usual and started moving on the Expressway to cross over to my bike, when a big truck that I would say came out of nowhere, was speedily driving towards me and i was hit.

Time froze , everything turned blank.

Is this how I was going to die?, that was the last thing I thought before I lost consciousness.

St Louis hospital

Beep, Beep, Beep ....

I opened my eyes, which felt heavy at first, but slowly I came to see the white ceiling and the smell of disinfectant invaded my nostrils . I tried to get up but I felt so weak.

where am I ?

I looked around the hospital ward . I would say for an hospital ward this was really fancy.

knock, knock.... , I had a voice outside the ward.

"come in" ,I said hoarsely

A pretty nurse came in with a tray on her hands containing glass bottles of drugs. she puts it on the the cabinet close to the bed and pours water into the glass cup from the jug.

How are you feeling mister ?, I looked at her and replied, I'm fine I guess i just feel pains all over my body.

Take your medicines and you will be fine, your family will arrive soon.

Please nurse what is wrong with me?, why am I here?, I asked confused at my situation .Sir , you got involved in an accident because you were drunk .I have to go sir ,I will come later to check on you ,said the nurse as she left for the exit.

I got drunk?, I asked myself disbelievely . No I got I got hit by a truck , I didn't get drunk, what is that nurse saying,I grunted at my realisation. what does she mean my family is arriving? I don't have a family,I am an orphan.

what a funky nurse!..

I chuckled , brushing my hands through my black curls. wait a minute.. no black thick curls , just straight black long hair .

what happened to my black curls of my hair?...
