It’s 3 in the morning. All I can hear is a loud buzzing
and everything around me is spinning. Some give me
an aspirin because my head is throbbing and about to explode.
I leave your house and the bottle still in my hand.

I stagger to my car and I turn the key. I looked over to the
house and drive away never thinking about the what ifs
and maybes. I drove down a dark and narrow road that leads to nowhere.
It feels like a snake because I kept on turning the wheel to stay straight.

I stomped on the brakes because I saw a deer walking in front of the car.
I stared at it and its big eyes returning the gaze. Still looking at it
I sped off as I have never seen a deer before. I entered a long and
dark tunnel that seemed to be endless. At the end of it I saw nothing

but an extremely blinding light. I remembered seeing my life flashing
before my eyes. I saw my birth and my first kiss and my high school prom.
I saw my high school graduation and my first day of college. I saw the first
and only girl I have fallen in love with. Then all I saw was the blinding light

in front of my eyes and I don’t know what to do. I swerve the car to the left
and then to the right but the light would not leave. I just closed my eyes as
tight as humanly possible and I screamed at the top of my lungs. I gripped
the wheel as tight as I can and I prayed the light would disappear. The next thing

I remembered I was at home getting ready to go to your house. I looked
in the mirror, stunned and sweating. I touched my face and looked around
to see if I was only dreaming. I looked in the mirror again and I told myself
I am never going to drink and drive because that was a crazy dream.
