Chapter I: The end?

It was Friday October the 6th. My alarm clock woke me up. It was six o’clock in the morning. I went downstairs to have breakfast. And at 7.30 AM, Jack, one of my friends stopped his car in front of my house and pressed his horn. It’s time to go to school yelled my mother. I took my jacket, went outside and stepped inside the car. On our way to school we were discussing what we were going to do after school. After the short discussion we decided to do what we usually do on Friday, drinking something in the locally bar close to school. Jack parked his car aside the road and we went into the direction of the school. ‘Ring, ring’ said the school bell and the first lesson started.

At 3.30 PM the finishing school bell rang again. Me, Jack and a few other friends went to the bar, that was situated five hundred meters from our school. All my friends ordered a beer, but I took a coke. After two hours, we decided to go home. Jack had drunk at least four martinis and six beers, but he still wanted to drive the car. And then there was Oliver, another friend of me and Jack, who was going to spend the night at Jack’s home. So he drove whit us in the car. When we were half our way home, Jack suddenly felt sick and he had to puke. He stopped his car in the middle of train rails and ran into the direction of the bushes. When Jack had spat out his last puke, he fell down in the grass. Oliver threw open his car door and ran to Jack to help him.

I was still sitting in the car and yelled that the car was parked on the train rails. And on that very moment, a train drove in my direction. I didn’t have had time to get out of the car and the train drove against me and the car. And then, there was that big white tunnel…
