I see the car
driving off the cliff
down
down
down
down
it goes.......
But my day didnt start out like that
I woke up
to my mothers sing songing voice
Victor wake up hunny we're going on a trip!
Olivia comes squeeling in
jumping on my bed
Trip! Trip! Trip!
her three year words tumbling out
Getting ready we all hop in the car
Mother
father
son
daughter
in that big old Caravan
where are we going
A cross country trip
Summer time is here
lets make the most of it
We got across a few states
sightseeing as we went
camara flashing
marking our journey
Grab a motel room
spend the night
next day get up
eat breakfast
on the road again
Then it happened.
A moose in the middle of the road
Dont ask me the state
my brain has blacked that out
But it never bothered to block out the accident
Dad tried to aviod it
but it was to big
He hit the back end
and went spinning over the cliff
tumbling down
and down
glass shattering
twigs getting in
the car settles at the bottom
upside and smashed
I try to get my bearing
my six year old self freaking out
SOMETHING attacks my face
To this day I dont know what it is
But now my left eye is dead
my vision destroyed
claw marks rake that side of my face
with blood in my eye
I try to find my parents
They are still not moving
Dads neck is bent funny
so is moms
I hear my sister calling out to me
hanging upside down
reaching out to me
Something is wrong with her chest
She wasnt wearing a red shirt
she was wearing Yellow
dont worry Livy
Everythings gunna be ok
with my promise on my lips
I unbuckle my seatbelt
surprised it still worked
I crawled out of my seat
and to my father
trying not to look at his
dead eyes.
I love you daddy, Goodbye
reach into his pocket
grab his cell phone
whats that number again?
Oh right
911
call it
cry scream
tell the people
HELP ME, HELP OLIVIA
Mommy and daddy went to heaven already
Olivia, shes fading
***** hold on they're coming
Her whimpers stop
and her body goes limp
NOOOOOOOOOO
I shout and scream
shrieking into the night
The flashback fades away
I wake up
in my own room
18 years later
I survived
My whole family didn't
Whoever is out there
God? Alleh, Goddess, Whomever
Why didnt you take me with them?
Why did you have to leave me here?
why did you have to break me?
My first tim ever writing or talking about the accident that killed my whole family when I was only 6. I am the only survivor. the doctors still can't figure out what attacked my face, They suggest that somehow a bird got into the car and clawed my face trying to get out.
