Excerpt: Distant Memories

Just when Mike finished his call he saw a truck totally damaged at the front, the guard rail was damaged and he could see skid marks on the pavement which lead to the end of the road towards valley which told him that something terrible has just happened. He had a bad feeling in his stomach and got out of his car. From the distance he could see the red car from that lady which he saw a minute ago on the road. He could not believe that she already had an accident. He did not know whose fault it was. There was too much smoke.
“Are you okay?” shouted Mike to the car driver who was in the car. The car driver did not give him an answer so Mike came closer to him.
“You okay?” asked Mike one more time. The driver seemed to be in a shock. It took him a few seconds until he said something.
“I am so sorry.” said the other man.
“Come on get out of the car into a safe place.” said Mike to the man.
“Yes, but go and have a look at the woman, she is in danger.” said the truck driver in a state of a shock.
Mike was scared. He did not know how badly the woman was injured so he crossed the street and ran carefully down the hill because it was very steep until he got to her red car which began to smoke a bit. He knew that he did not have much time so he had to do something quickly. He saw that Sondra’s head was down so he tried to lift her head up…
“Oh shit.” he was so taken aback by the look of the lady. Sondra’s face was completely covered in blood and her arms were dislocated too.
“Hey lady, can you hear me?” said Mike to Sondra but she did not seem to be at consciousness anymore. ‘Oh my God what should I do?’ asked Mike to himself. He was in panic. He put his hand to her neck and tried to feel her pulse. Thank God she was alive. Then he took out his phone and dialed nine one one.

Where am I? What happened to me? I feel so light. Am I dead? Why can I see everything around me but not feel any pain? Who is this man? Oh, I remember him. That was this guy whom I have seen at the traffic stop and he was following me. Oh boy, I was too distracted that I did not even notice him. I definitely must be dead. Yes help me. Take me out of the car. Do you not see that it is smoking, take me out, please. Oh no, I do not want to be dead. Bring me back please. I want to go back. Why does no one answer? Hello? Can anymore hear me?

Sondra seemed to have left her body but she was not dead. She was between the worlds, neither in heaven nor in hell. She was somehow in between. She tried to touch the man’s shoulders but her hand just ran though his body as if she would not even exist which scared her so that she stopped it. She looked again into her hands. They appeared to be perfectly normal. They were just a bit brighter than her actually skin colour.

What is wrong with me? Why can I not touch this man?
