Short Story: Untitled

Hi, my name is Winston Shakespeare; I’m a 34 year old Irish/Russian (weird right? I know!!!). I’m currently a resident of Sacramento California. I grew up with both my parents in the same household. I am the youngest of nine kids. I have always been an over-achieve; a prodigy kid my neighbors would say. I graduate from high school in 1997 and not long after I attended Yale University. By the time I turned 24 I was in love with a girl by the name Kit Porter. I’m now married we have three boys and two girls. Enough of my history let’s fast forward… All my life I’ve dedicated my knowledge to medicine, I received my PhD in plastic surgery. At such a young age I lucked up. The practice I was working with during my intern, did a very nice thing for me and I quickly advanced pass my fellow colleagues. I now have my own practice. Let’s fast forward a tad bit more….

Stupid Job!!! I’m sick of this job!!! Sorry I was being impolite my name is Carl James, I’m a 41 year old. And I have a dead end job at some magazine company; I forget the name. I can’t quit because my wife all she do is nag nag NAG!!!!! I’m so sick of her and this stupid job. I wish everything could just stop…….

Lately I have been working way too much and I know it. I just feel that if I slack then I will lose all I have worked so hard for. My wife is growing tired of me coming home late in the night. I have tried to talk it out so I was thinking of something, because today is my wife’s and twin son’s birthday. I Boy how I wish for a wish……

Ok before everything stops let me tell you why I’m so fired up. My wife calls me at work complaining about house duties (seeing that I’m at work). I don’t give a damn about house duties because I’m at work all damn day. So we get into a heated argument and she tells me not to come home tonight. I tell her I won’t so now I’m just driving around it’s about 7:00pm. I have been drinking since I been out of work and I’m on my way home to tell this woman I want a DIVORCE. I’m so done with all the nagging, complaining, and heartlessness towards me. What did I ever do to deserve this from her? I feel as if I want to burst into tears. This is not the woman I pledged to live the rest of my life with. I have to something to get my dear old darling back. I’ll just go get some flowers and when I get home tell her to put on her finest dress……….

Today I promised my wife I would be on time for her birthday party and it seems as if I’m running late already. It starts at 7:30pm and I still have a meeting to go to. So I have to rush., I’m zooming through my presentation and now I’m running through the halls like a maniac. I finally get to my office and to check the clock it now says 7:04 (OH SNAPS OH ON), and the place it at least 30 minutes away. Without thinking I leave everything and jump in my car in zoom to the highway…..

So I walk through my front door to find my wife nowhere in sight. (VERY VERY WEIRD) So I just sat down at the table to gather my thoughts. And in a moment of prayer I heard a noise BOOM BOOM!! Than BANG BANG!! I yelled HONEY!! No response. So I slowly walked up the stairs and the noises grew louder and louder and I choked on my words when I heard another man’s voice coming from my room. I felt a brick wall smack me in the face, I stopped to think of what to do next….. I pushed the door opened and my wife looked at me as if cheating on me was perfectly fine. She stared me in the face and I began to cry. I ran down the stair and stormed out the door. I slammed the door and it made the rumble of thunder in its most perfect form I got in my car and headed for the highway…….

I’m speeding in my 330i BMW, doing 210 mph. I’m changing my clothes in the same moment. I speak to myself Lord please let me make it on time. Then with in a quick second everything flashed before me then went black……

I’m speeding in my Explorer, going fast as it can go I’m drinking in the same process. Thinking to myself “how could I have let this happen?” I unconsciously put my head on the wheel of my car still doing the speed I began with. Then everything went black, and it seemed as if everything stood still like the house that that wolf couldn’t blow down……

Two cars collided on 74B, the BMW wrapped around the explorer like a pig in a blanket. Car pieces shattered like water spraying from a water gun. Other car swerved to miss the two cars. Then the truck took a more suspenseful route; the truck began to spin and spin. I man in the truck flew in the air like he was going to fly and he hit the ground like a pancake being flipped in a pan. When the man hit the ground bones popped out from his body blood skeet everywhere. And a by passing car ran his left leg over. The sound was horrifying. The sound of cans crushing was the sound his leg produced. Now the other man in the car was almost dead to the world. A gash in his was the size of a size 5 shoe in women. Blood poured from his face and neck. A car piece slightly penetrated his jugular.

Here came the emergency. And the men were rushed to the hospital and it told almost the same amount of hours to put the two men together like a jigsaw puzzle. Finally the work was done; they were in recovery in 20 hours of surgery. Funny how life can change things within seconds.

I can’t believe this happen to me, but I can’t question why. I know that was too my fault for speeding on the highway but I was on the right side of the road. That I can remember. I now have learned what to put first in LIFE and now I plan to cherish what I have on this earth until I leave here. Lesson learned pay attention to the road…..Thank God I’m here to tell this story.

And by the time he wakes I hope he realize I do love him and I’m and sorry from the bottom of my heart…..All I pray for is for my Husband to wake up……Please Lord I’m sorry and I promise I won’t do it again…..I’M SORRY!!!
