When people get into horrible car accidents, they’re usually killed on impact.
And they tell you that it was instantaneous and that your loved one felt no pain.
They don’t tell you that as they slammed against the steering wheel, their organs exploded and burst within their chests, that the air was choked straight out of their lungs by the belt that was meant to save them, and that they were dead before they even started to bleed.
They don’t tell you what happened to them. They just tell you that they were gone before they ever knew what hit them.
As if they’re protecting you.
