middle of the night, no one around for days.
a deer jumped out in front of me & i swerved
off the road to avoid hitting it.
in the process of correcting, i over corrected
and as my back tires hit the large difference in the edge of the road
& the side ground, it flipped & rolled to a stop on it's hood.
i emerged with a bleeding eyebrow & some cuts on my left arm.
slightly dazed, i immediately reached for my cell phone but found i had no service.
i looked to my left & my right & saw nothing in the form of darkness for miles.
i sat in the grass to shake off what had just happened
& to figure out what i was going to do about it.
it dawned on me that i was on my own for this one.
have you ever tried to overturn a crashed car by yourself?
it's impossible.
it's nearly impossible with 6 of yourselves.
i'm still sitting in the grass.
the night has never lifted & i haven't seen a single sign of life.
i try a few times every hour to push my car over,
in hopes that if i do, it would actually drive me out of here.
really, it's just me heaving for ten minutes & then collapsing
against it's mangled frame.
i have a choice...
keep pushing towards an impossible happening
or walk away...
into the darkness.
into a place i've never been before.
into a place where all i can do is hope i'll find someone who can help me.
