Close Call

****************************************************

We were walking along the road on our school trip, 11 years old with bags full of sandwhiches and soft drinks and aspirations.

The car came around the bend, so fast, it was yellow, rusty.

You pushed me out of the road, landed on top of me.

"I've saved your life now," you said.

And I didn't forget it, either.
