Just around the corner

Jarring...

Thank you!

good morning dearest Keith this is very graphic sadly true some people might take for granted how fast it can happen but I don't my dad died in a wreck and just like that he was gone from my life great write 💕

Sorry to hear this about your father. Car wrecks are tragic. No one is ever prepared to hear the news about someone close dying this way. Appreciate the comments.

We never know what will be going on just around the corner, do we. And if something like an accident happens it can be turned into a spectacle Somehow the last line struck me as a metaphor that the dead would need more assisting the the living. This struck me as something that could be a theme in your piece, is it about the dead , the living or the living dead. Anyways, sending you greetings and blessings for your day

Hello Rianne,

Welcome & thank you for reading and commenting on this piece. The last line is more satirical then anything. I mentioned the living can just walk home but the dead will need assistance. If you begin reading my writes, you'll see I have a lot of satire in there. We all find humor in different places, I find it in dark/grim like tales. You have a wonderful day as well.

Keith.. your writings on various happenings near around you .. brings on your awareness n emphathetic soul n the many untouched upon facets that your pen lights enlightens to a raring soul like me ever.. am always fascinated by the crowd behaviour or the gherao concept that naturally happens in such accidents or mishappening - out of curiosity .. & there is a general deep sadness shared & a deep feeling that the loss of lives  could have been prevented or saved.. this is that nature in each one  that  feels as one nature cosmic soul , that which always needs life to thrive .. n not death .. your description of the accident in all it’s mangled bloody scene.. tells of the pain n brutal fate of those beings that went through such illfatedness..  
esp. children n unborn embryo in there.. wordlessly unbearable this is!  
deep silence n prayers ..  
& Salutes to you Keith .. am amazed each time you write of such societal (mid)happenings that bring 8& touch upon a personal n spiritual angle feel within xxx

Thank you Uma for the RL. You have a way with words critiquing my stories. I thank you. The last line though reveals the warped humor that I possess.

Yes I read that humour twist in there .. you have a way with words like none other :)

Tragic write, Keith. Tomorrow is not guaranteed, my friend. Appreciate you.

Oh so true Damian. Thanks!

Hahaha i like the ending. I only fear car accidents when my daughter is with me. Other than that, I don't really care what happens to me lol

Get a plastic jeebus for your dashboard.

I used to want one. They were $7 at Hastings. 7 is gods number haha Did you ever have that store? Almost like a blockbuster for cds and also books. Like a half blockbuster and half Barnes and noble music and books. You would have liked it but it closed down so sad. I used to go there all the time

Heard of Hastings. We never had one over here

It had books and collections of cds and a little café to get coffee and pastries like a Starbucks.  We used to be in there for hours just looking for cds to buy

what discs did you buy?

I was more into alternative rock at the time so I'd buy things that sounded similar to linkin park. I was very young. Probably in middle school. You just had to pick a cd and buy it and hoped you liked it.

Linkin park? If I saw you picking out Linkin Park I would of made a scene!

Lol why
