Moon's shadow

It was a beautiful sunny day, as I drove back home from work. I was in high spirits and had no idea that I was going to die that day.

I don't even know if the truck driver or I were to blame, for smashing into my driver's side at full speed.

The moment he hit my car neither of this questions mattered anymore, nothing mattered anymore. All my senses were so sharp and clear in that brief moment. Everything seem to be in extreme slow motion.

As the truck hit my car, I saw how the door bend slowly toward me.

I heard the metal scream and watched the window shatter.

I saw light refract in the glass shards forming tiny rainbows.

As all this glittering and screaming chaos crawled towards me, I had one last thought: 'Death shouldn't be this pretty.'

The moment I got hit there was no pain, but I knew my life was over...

Just a blink later, I felt something on my shoulder and got suddenly pulled away. Everything disappeared from one moment to the next and was replaced by a shimmering colorful void.

I wanted to scream, but I couldn't. I could not move either.

I wasn't even sure that I still existed.

Suddenly I heard a surprised sound from that thing and it lost its grip on me, even after reaching out again to grab me, it could not hold on to me. His surprise turned into anger as I fell back, and moved further and further away from him.

I lost any reference to time, maybe all of this took years or the fraction of a second. I fell towards a shining light until I finally was enclosed by it.
