The Sound of Crashing Cars.

I believe it was Junior year of high school when this had happened, it was Halloween and i was invited to a Halloween party. I guess i use that term very loosely as by party it was a get together at a local cemetery getting high or drunk. Regardless i was looking forward to the event because a girl that i wanted to get to know better would be there (this was still before i actually knew how to talk to women.. but that's another post entirely).

At the time Cori was my brother's gf and she was an interesting girl to say the least she loved risk to say the least. I made the unfortunate mistake of asking her for a lift to the Halloween party even though it was only a handful of blocks away.

Well Cori was driving semi-recklessly as always thinking it was fun almost hitting a car when she failed to notice that our light turned red. A jeep when speeding by and Cori had failed to hit the breaks in time so we ended up clipping the end of the jeep in Cori's older car (when cars were made of metal). Needless to say the results surprised everyone, the jeep we had hit flipped onto it's side and skidded to a halt when it hit the curb. As for Cori's car well it stopped dead in it's tracks me hitting the window hard enough to shatter but not break most of the window (i was sitting in the passenger seat).

Everyone just paused when all of the sudden if heard Plesca yell "get out of the car your brother is bleeding everywhere!". It took me a second to gather my thoughts that i had not died despite looking at the damage my head had caused and i got out. Apparently my brother cut his head on the hooks that people hang their dry cleaning on... yeah bizarre that he managed to injured yet i came out without a scratch.

As i was walking home alone since Cori's parents took her home, my brother and Plesca went to the hospital to check out their injuries, i thought to myself i was quite lucky to get away with a minor scratch if even that. Thinking back on it when i was younger i went through a lot of car crashes/accidents for one reason or another hell i even had a car crash on my birthday!

The thing about an accident is that your adrenaline runs so high that you cannot think straight. If you are hurt you don't really notice it that much (gravity of the wound would be an exception in some cases),but for the most part you are amazed something so sudden happened.
