At the accident scene
Kate
got outside the shopping mall. Traffic was
heavy at fast speed, reckless, blaring horns, swearing at one another.
She stood on the pavement for a long time, confused on what to do next. Clammy,
sweaty, yet she was feeling cold.
…killed my husband... maimed my
child? How could I have done it! …when!
… No, I did not. He was sick. I did everything to help him…but lost him. Then Chidi was born lame. It was not my fault. Why does she mock me! …why!
She stepped out. A fast moving
truck hit her. She flew off. And crashed on a pole. Then landed on the road. as the truck screeched to a halt.
