Snapshot Two: Capture a Scene

Walking down the street half a mile to my apartment.  I was crossing the cross walk when I saw to bright eyes staring at me coming closer. I stared in to the devil’s eyes and he craved to take me.

The day started out well I was at the Irish fest hanging out with friend listening to some music.  We were leaving going back to my apartment I only lived about a mile away from the fest and it was a clear night so I wanted to walk. On the way back me my friend and I started conversing about how this is our last year in high school. “Hey man how’s it fell we’re going to be seniors next year.” Said my friend.  “It’s going to be lit dude We are going to be free.” I said.

 We are crossing the last cross walk it was right our right way. Then it happened as I was walking across a white Honda accord probably with a drunk driver at the wheel gunned at me. “Damien watch out car” Yelled my friend.  “What the….” I said. I saw the lights and my life flashed between my eyes. I saw the friends I made, the relationships I formed.  I remembered child hood memories all the experiences I had with my cousins. I was happy the last thought I had was about me and my family. I closed my eyes at that point then opened it to see it swerved out of my way.

I learned how to live my life. Don’t live it in fear but live for excitement. Live every moment like its your last moment.
