	I looked out at the road that stretched out in front of me. I reached down and changed the song that was playing, Hey Julie came on. I hummed along as I leaned back in the seat of my ford ranger and hung my arm out of the window. I was enjoying the warm sun. The stop light I was sitting at flicked green and I mashed down the pedal. I sped out in front of the cars and enjoyed the warm wind rushing into my window. I sighed and I started to think. I did most of my thinking while driving. Today my mind started to wander, contemplating my last four years in high school. Contemplating how shitty my life has been up to this point. I thought about how the only girl I had loved in my short existence had cheated on me, and left me for someone else. But mostly I thought about my parents. 

My father was a knine officer, and had been for the last 20 years. My mother was a professor at a college. They died about 6 months ago in a plane crash. They were on their way to Italy for their 20th anniversary. Right before they left we got into a huge argument, and we all said things that we wished we could take back. I was planning on calling them and apologizing when they landed. I never got the chance to make that call. 

I drove through another green light and continued down the road, bittersweet memories playing across my minds eye. I was approaching another light and seeing that it was red, let off the gas. Before I got there it turned green so I began to speed up. I reached the middle of the intersection and suddenly my world exploded. My head hit the steering wheel and I saw a white flash. I was suddenly consumed with blinding pain from what seemed like every inch of my body. I heard sirens off in the distance, and I wasn’t sure if I was about to pass out or if the sirens I heard were just far away. Suddenly I felt the pain begin to ebb away. At that point I knew what was happening. I was going to die. I wasn’t sure how I knew this, but something told me it was over. I began to feel myself dying. When I first realized I was dying I was scared. I was afraid that it was going to hurt, but mostly I just didn’t want to stop living yet. Now everyone says that when die your life plays out before your eyes, but that wasn’t the case for me. I was replaying my fondest memories. Any fear I felt was gone now, replaced with a feeling of happiness. I noticed something as I was watching my memories, my heart had stopped. I could no longer feel it pounding away in my chest as I could only moments ago. I was confused at first but then I understood what was happening. I could feel the inky blackness the crept into my mind. Thinking become difficult as fought to hold onto consciousness for a few more seconds. My last thought before my mind went dark was a simple one. "I wonder what happens next."
