A wish to undo it
A wish to undo it
“Wait!†I cried. “You forgot you wallet!†he then turned and faced me. Suddenly “BOOM!†I heard a loud crash. Here’s how it all happened. It was 2pm when I was on my way to do groceries when suddenly a man with fair height carrying a black bag came to the driveway. I stepped on the breaks causing my car to completely stop bumping my head on the wheel. “Stop!†he announced “Are you crazy? You could’ve been killed†I shot back. “I need a ride it’s an emergency! I have to get to the nearest pharmacy fast!†he pleaded. “Hop in†I replied hiding the pain he caused. “What’s your name?†I asked Fernando Garcia Guzman was his reply. I drove as fast as I could, using all the short cuts I know. “Thank you so much, I’ll pay you for your trouble ma’am†he announced when we were arriving the store. “No that is not neccessary†I assured him. He then asked to be dropped accross the pharmacy. We were standing right accross the store when suddenly he had a phone call “Will you please hold this†handing me his bag. Then he hurriedly left leaving his bag with me. He was crossing the highway accross the pharmacy when I remembered I was still holding his bag. “Wait!†I cried. “You forgot your bag!†he then turned and faced me. Suddenly in an instant “BOOM!†I heard a loud crash. “Oh no!†I quickly ran to his aid then directly dialed the police using the phone he was carrying. He was lying there bloody and I can’t stop thinking it was partly my fault. Guilty, I tried to soothe him but it was no use he was unconscious. What am I to do? I thought. “Help!†I cried endlessly hoping to undo this accident. I prayed for a miracle but what can I do? I barely know this man and yet I am partly responsible for him. Minutes later the ambulance came with the police and they asked various questions. I was still stunned with what had happened. I explained to the police about his attempt on asking for a ride, me carrying his bag and shouted “Wait!†and so on. The police tried to comfort me saying “it was not your fault†the truck driver was drunk. But I still can’t believe it happened in an instant. And now I still can’t believe I am carrying his bag until now. I directly gave it to the police and explained who it belonged to. I saw Fernando being hit, saw him in a huge pile of blood, saw him being carried to a nearby ambulance but what can I do? I just hope I could undo it. The police allowed me to accompany Fernando to the hospital in the ambulance. I rode with them while all the emergency professionals did all they could. It seemed that he was fading fast and all I did was sit there hoping for one wish. A wish to undo it.
