Everything seemed to be in slow motion but so quickly all at the same time. A flash of red attacked my eyes as I reacted. Screeching tires swerved as they neared the truck with a trailer hitch that had pulled out in front of me from stop traffic into my lane. One side of my car was up in the air, somehow I pulled on the steering wheel and it made it back down on the ground and then my driver's side was up in the air. At this point I was almost sideways in my lane, heading to sideswipe a car in the right lane next to me. Thankfully, before making impact, my car straightened itself out and both tires were on the ground and I was going straight again and safe. All I can say is that it was God who let me get out of that predicament. When I knew for sure I was safe, I called Foxx over the Bluetooth in my car.
"Hello." His voice sounded chipper.
"I almost died." The breath was still a little knocked out of me.
"Oh? How?" Very nonchalantly, as if he didn't almost just lose me. I told him the story.
"Like I said, I almost died. I could've been bye-bye."
"But you're not. You're okay." Attentions, damn it!
"Thank God I made it out of that, that was the Lord man."
"You can believe what you want to believe." He chuckled.
"Yes, yes I can damn it!" I chuckled sarcastically. "I almost died!"
We continued this conversation until I had settled down and regained control of my brain and erratic emotions. Not only did that happen today but when it happened I hadn't slept for 30 hours, thankfully I was able to react that quickly. I was never able to fall asleep the night before even though I tried for hours. Whew! You have no idea how traumatizing that is. Well, a lot of people probably do if they have ever been in a bad wreck or a near-bad wreck. You happen to get a lot more thankful for the life you were given.
Just a quick update on my scary as shit day,
Ren.
