Crash

Crash.

A ba donka donk

The wheel falls, thumping with rhythm to the beat of my heart.

My car upturned to the side, oil slowly leaking.

I stare, at the lake in front of me

Bubbles, rising slowly, engulphing me

my oesophagus closing in on itself

water everywhere, around me, in me

pain with every breath

I don’t try to go up

Because I don’t know how to go up

I flail mid-air, floating above the wreckage that settled to the bottom

Gravity no longer a constraint for me

For a few more minutes

I think I hear screaming around me

I look up to a world of flames, chaos everywhere

But I don’t like the sight so I start to close my eyes

Black in the midst of daylight

I hear my panicked breaths, start to slow down

The bubbles are lesser in number

I decide to extend my hands upward, one last try

And everything goes limp

And I die
