"Forget Everything"
by

L
et me start from the begining. It was Wednesday the 13 of June and I was coming home from soccer training when this strange old man jumped out from behind a tree and began ranting about his lost dog.

"Um... Okay.... I've got to go this way now" I said stepping onto the road and trying to get around him."

But he ran and I went come back doggie and he kept on running and I went come back. Please and I will feed you and stuff and care for you and I will give you a bone.

Doggie said woov woov and ran and I..." " Um.... I have really got to go..... BYE!!" I said running away along the road.

Suddenly the old man stopped talking and started humming.

"Cumm Omm Humm NUMMM"

Suddenly I couldn't run. My legs started to move backwards. It was then that I heard a car. I spun my head around and saw a white Mazda rearing done on me. FFFFOOONNNKKK!! Its horn bleard loudly. FFFOOONNNKK, FFOONNKK!!

I was still walking backwards when the car hit me. So now I am in the intensive care unit at the Prince Fredrick Hospital. I have broken both my arms and legs, lost a kidney, unable to breath without help of a machine and I will have to get my food from a tube for the rest of my life. They also think that I damaged my brain cause I can't remember what happened that day. The only thing I know is that five kids in the past five weeks have all come into this hospital suffering from the same brakes and loses as I have.

I can only just remember the last words that the old man muttered. I think they were "Forget everything".



The End
