The Accident

Running along the woods with the forest branch moving differently in the breeze, swaying in the quietness of the night, with the wind hollowing as Mark runs away from an approaching step of an unknown. Listening to his heart beat playing loud in his hear as he runs screaming for help.

Getting to a tree, Mark sat down trying to get some rest after when the monster appeared from nowhere, mark steering right into the eye of the monster screamed

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa………….”

Woke up all drenched like someone coming out of the rain, Mark at first taught it was sweat from the race he had in his nightmare, until it dawn on him that he had been bath by his mother, after hearing his mother’s voice Mrs. Margret, who was standing in front of him holding an empty bowl, which she used the water in it to woke up Mark.

“Wake up” she shouted “or you will be late for school, it already 6:45am and you are still on bed” she added walking out of the room.

Immediately Mark stood up, he slipped and fell hardly to the tiled ground not minding what had happened to his body, he quickly stood up and headed to the bathroom to get his bath.

Coming out of the bathroom he slipped again and fell hitting his head. While angry he took the mop and while trying to clean the water splash, he broke the mop. Throwing the remains of the mop under his bed, he quickly grab his uniform putting them on as he descended the stairs of his room to the kitchen to grab his breakfast. Getting to kitchen his mother had already packed his food, taking his food while putting on the buttons of his shirt, the lunch box fell off his hands to ground letting out the food content in it.

“What have you done” mark’s mother said on getting to the kitchen.

She quickly packed another for him telling him to be careful and avoid letting the food get wasted or he’ll have to go to school without breakfast, as it the last in the pot.

Mark ran back upstairs to fetch his bag, but could not find it. He looked around in his room, thereby making the room unkept. He then remembered he had taken the bag to the sitting room earlier. Hastily descending from the stairs he twisted his ankle but cared less as it was already 7:15am and he was late for school. Limping down the stairs, he took his food and his transport fee, putting his fee into his pocket while leaving the exit of the house he knelt down to tie his shoe lace placing his breakfast by his side. He got up in a hurry leaving his breakfast at the entrance of house and left for school, checking the time to be 7:25am

Mark went to the bus station, since couldn’t catch up with the school bus. He met a bus which was already full but could not wait ten minutes for another bus, so he decided to board the bus and stand until a passenger alights.

Struggling to get in he stepped on a lady sitting at the end of the seat close to the bus exit, who caused a scene.

“Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmm” a car honks loudly pass mark’s bus drawing the passengers’ attention from the fight after mark receiving a slap from the lady.

A loud noise which sounded like a blast came not long after the honk, which scared everyone in the bus. “haaaaaaaaaaaaa… naa accident oo” a woman shouted, as the bus driver steps on the break of the bus, Mark who was not holding onto anything slides and hits his head against the seat in front of him and became unconscious.

After some minutes Mark woke up with bandages on his head, “you are fine, it just a minor bruise” a nurse said smiling. (Turning to leave).

While Mark was hurrying to leave the accident scene after checking the time to be 7:42am, he saw two nurses push one of the victim into the ambulance, taking a glance he notice it was one of the popular parent in his school who got popular because of the variety of flashy cars he uses to drop his children who also attended Mark’s school. Looking around he also spotted two other bodies laid on the floor he recognize them to be the rich man’s kids. He was shocked from the incident that he couldn’t bring himself to boarding another bus, he quickly picked up his bag and begin to run to school.
