This Morning.

[Lost-Chances]

I woke up today and did my usual routine. I Put on some clothes. I cleaned my teeth, combed my hair and splashed a handful of cold water onto my tired face. I only slept four hours that night. My mind was beating like someone was constantly hitting my skull with a hammer but some how it didn’t affect my tiredness. I poured too much cereal into the bowl and it went over the rim. I sighed and picked up the fallen cornflakes. I put them in the bin and poured my milk. I walked over to the drawer and opened it and grabbed a desert spoon. I then placed the spoon into the grainy sugar that sat in it’s small pot where it belong. I sprinkled it lightly over my cereal and then sat down to begin eating the almost tasteless sweet wet cereal.

Once done, I placed it in the sink and looked at the time. The clock stared back at me telling me it was 8:30 in it’s own way. I knew I had to leave. I pulled my bag onto my back, locked the house up and left while tucking my keys safely away into my bag. I rushed down the road as fast I could. I knew if I didn’t rush, I wouldn’t get to school in time. If I didn’t get there in time, I would get in a horrible amount of trouble due to my notorious record of turning up late starting to get on my teachers’ nerves. Let alone what my head-teacher and my parent (my father) thought of it after what seems like hours yelling at me.

All this ran through my head as I reached a road I had to cross. I crossed it without warning and at that moment. I blinked.

When my eyes opened, I was in a new place. I was standing at what looked like a train station platform. Others stood with me in this seemingly colourless world. They varied in looks, from blacks to Goths to even people who reminded me of Aboriginal Australians stood there with their bare feet with a small towel wrapped around their genitals. I was dressed in my normal casual clothes, my black sports trousers with two white stripes down the side, my plain grey t-shirt, my dark grey-ish jumper, black socks and my normal steel-toe-cap shoes. In less than a minute from my revival, a train arrived. It arrived at such a speed, I took a step back in shock. The train looked old fashioned but looked modern at the same time. I was unable to see what pulled this rather strange train.

Just then, something inside me made me walk into the train. It was a bizarre feeling of comfort and warmness. I turned around to see the train lock up and start to move. Even though the outsides appeared to move at what looked to be almost the speed of light, it felt like it was barely moving. It was strange. I turned around to see all the people I saw before sitting down in comfortable train chairs that reminded me of large desk chairs bolted to the floor. They sat at small tables and each small group was talking to each other. Most of them talked with smiles on their faces. It was strange how they all talked different languages yet I and everyone else understood it.

I sat down in a corner seat near the train doors alone in a lack of comfort. I was uneasy. Just a second ago, I was rushing to school in my school uniform with a bag on my back. Now, I sat with my normal casual clothes in a train that was heading to a destination I didn’t know of. All this in a blink of an eye. An overweight woman walked past me and asked me with a pleasant look on her face “would you like a drink or something to eat?”. I was about to ask her about what had some happened, trying to place my sentence in some form of structure without looking insane, weird or stupid, when the door next to me opened with a “gush” of air. I turned and left the train. I walked out the train station, everything appearing strange to me. The train station stunk of something I just couldn’t recognise and the only thing I could connect it with was the taste of Rowntree’s Fruit Pastels.

I finally reached the street where I could finally look at it all. People rushed everywhere, trying to get to somewhere. It was almost colourless and seemed to live just like the world I was in not long ago. But it seemed to run in strange manners I could not understand. Like some people walked with what I could only guess as MP3 players built into their shoes, the display bar glowing on the side bar. The ear plugs being small silver plugs. Everyone walked with strange fashion senses like suits filled with water and the fish swarm around peacefully without a care in the world. I stood there, staring in what I could only call shock at the time. I then had to blink.

I was now staring up at the dark cloudy sky. People looking at me, crowding around me. One yelled “he’s alive!”. Another asked “are you ok man?”. My head banged hard like before but instead of a hammer, I was now being hit with a sledgehammer. All I could ask was “uuuhhh…What happened?”. A man with ginger short hair and glasses told me “I was driving along and you suddenly ran in front of me. I tried to brake but I still hit you hard. I quickly rushed out and checked your pulse, you were dead man for a second”. I moaned again and then spoke “I feel like I’m dead”. I stood up and brushed myself off. I checked the time on my phone, I knew if I rushed, I would still get there in time. One of the men told me “I called an ambulance for you, maybe you should get checked out”. I refused. “Sorry, I’ve got to get to school. Thanks a ton for saving my life” I told the group as I ran off for school.

So yeah, it was a good day today.

All that happened in the morning?

You sure must have a lot of adventures everyday!

Good read also.

I honestly can't tell if that was good or bad. Like the, image of it all was incredible, but the story didn't have that "pull" to make you want to read the whole thing. (I tuned out twice..and that's hard when I'm at work.)

It definitely was crazy, though.

Too much txt to read all that shit son

Nicely written, and a sense of reality gone wrong I feel in the afterlife section. I think there might have been a few too many "I"s, but sometimes that just can't be helped. The ending stood out too, perhaps a message regarding school attendence? Good :)

I knew I forgot something. But why did I have to forget the sex and the violence. Foolish, foolish me.
