Death, and it's anticipants. Revenge, and it's bearers. Rage and it's occupants...

First off, let me start by saying I'd appreciate receiving no smart-ass replies. I am writing this to blow off some steam, and would not like getting any such replies. Supportive replies, intelligent replies, coherent replies are perfectly welcome, and even anticipated.

I was driving home from work, I had gotten about 2-3 hours of sleep sunday afternoon, then went to work sunday night, which is my monday, since I work graveyard my monday is sunday night & monday morning, my tuesday is monday night and tuesday morning, etc. Anyhow, it was about 7:30 I think, I was driving home, just a few short fucking miles from my house, going down Highway 4-East, by Somersville exit... I fell asleep at the wheel, hit the hill, tread up it for a little bit until I woke up, flew into the air and almost straight into the overpass, in midair this is, somehow got back on the road in .000000000005 blink of an eye, started spinning doughnuts, my car rolled over quite a few times... I felt the pressure of both cold air, pavement pellets, twigs, rocks, and safety glass roundings propelled by the 70MPH+ freezing cold air rush into my face like a belly flop in a warm pool from 70 feet up.

I saw the sky disapearing into the pavement, returning to the sky, back to the pavement, over and over like night and day, only without the pleasant dreams night (or in my case -- day --) brings.

Then my car landed upside down finally, spinning at such velocity I cannot describe. I saw everything jump to the ceiling, everything crash inward as I spun out of control upside down. I felt the roof crash in on my head, my head hitting the window sending glass everywhere, including my mouth. I heard the sound of twisting metal and flying shrapnel buzzing around my ears, I did't scream once, did not mutter a single word the entire time other than the predictable "Shit!"

The only thought racing through my mind was "Dont lose the ring Iriz gave you", which is a ring I aquired from her, which only fits my right pinky finger. A ring of two lasso's tied together, but ending as one. Two opposite ends of a spectrum held together, though connected through a similiarity. This ring means a lot to me I've found.

I then passed out for who knows how long, less than two minutes for sure, more like one most likely, that is just a guess. When I woke up, I found myself hanging upside down from the strap adjusted accordingly across my torso and mid-section, my safety belt. I struggled to unlatch it, fell to the ceiling... <b>Fell</b> to the <b><i>ceiling</i></b>!! ... And quickly glanced around for a way out of this inward crashed wretched deathtrap. I see an opening... A small head-shaped hole in the driver side's window. I think nothing of it and kick it through, sliding out of the crushed window frame, lending me a total of about 6 inches, making it neccessary to suck everything in, even then I was forced to struggle.

As I got outside, I glanced down and saw my wallet on the pavement, how appropiate, odd, but somehow fitting. I pick it up without another thought and put it in my pocket. Afterall, what else is human nature than to pocket money they find on the floor without any mind to anything else until after?

I finally realize what has happened, I get the sensation it was all a dream again, one made all-too-familiar from when the car was rolling side to side, creating a labrynth of death and danger-haze.

I look over and see a police car directing traffic to the other lane, alright I say, so I just sit there in the freeway slow-lane (now blocked off by the perceiving police unit car) looking at my vehicle. I see a wide assortment of items once connected to my vehicle spread across the infamous, usually traffic-infested Highway 4, if only at a different time, it would have been.

I begin to feel rage setting in, afterall, who the fuck could do this to my car!? I had to exact my vengeance. On who? Why, the cement overpass of course! I start punching the concrete-monster with all my might, kicking it, now and then glancing at my car feeling a deep sorrow settling in, I back away from the unscathed grey beast... And then I begin to weep. Well... Let's be honest, I cried like a young girl must after witnessing her mother slaying her father and brother simply because they have more anatomic creations than her, and parading them around the house in nothing but a Lucille Ball series-finale smile.

I'm going to stop there, for now at least. And just say that I am unharmed, other than many sore muscles, a headache, the fact that I was spitting glass for five minutes, a few scratches and bruises, and furious rage that cannot be put into words. I may continue on a soon but later date, as of right now I do not know.

That really sucks man. It's good you weren't hurt seriously, because that wreck could have been much worse.

Good luck with all this.

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

Good thing you're alive. Interesting plot though, kind of book-worthy. Not many people have experienced falling asleep at the wheel and coming out of it alive.

Someting like that happened to me, but i was in a shitty civic. Thing is, it was my friends car so i had to pay him. What like 4k. Hope u feel better! What kind of car?

Is there anyway you can attribute your falling asleep to being overworked? Not enough time to sleep coming off a shift? If so you would be a little better off. Your insurance deductible and time off work could be compensated if you can somehow prove it was work that made you overly tired. Get yourself a lawyer before you start the claims process and see if they can help you out. Good luck dude.

that sucks man sorry to hear that, did you find the ring?

Thankfully your alright. You could have been further injured if not killed. Its cool you kept the ring, and the wallet.. well.. can't disagree with you there. As for your car and its dismemberment, well, I am sorry. Maybe in the future, the car will have another chance at life. And as for revenge, well, it is a dish best served cold. Do your best to fight the concrete.

Good Luck from here on out dude.

Good luck with

Shit, DFD! That sucks some ass. I was just about to post a thread about how I came inches from a horrible crash today, but after reading this I guess I'll just post it here seeing as how it's related.

I'm going to Radio Shack from my friends house. There's this light coming up and it turns yellow. I'm about 10 feet back from the line, so I speed up. A truck pulls out in front of me turning left, I almost hit him. A van behind the truck turns left, too. This guy doesn't see me coming towards him and proceeds to turn. I slam on my brakes and my tires are squealing; he slams on his breaks and starts to twist out of control. I literally was ONE INCH away from hitting this guy. I could not insert my pinky finger inbetween our cars.

I was praying and thanking God that I didn't crash into this guy. It could have nearly killed me and flipped his van. I'm not sure if my car has airbags or not.. it's a really old piece of shit. Bleh.

Let me get this streight, you whent over a hill which launched you into an overpass. I'am trying to picture it but I have no places around that could remotely cause such a crash. Well anywho good job staing alive, my your next car be better than the first.

Shit, you too? I was going to a friend and just came out of a right turn and some old bat pulled out without even looking and I had to slam on my brakes. Damn, a couple days ago I was coming home and was stuck behind ANOTHER old person who was weaving all over the road. One second he would be completely in the left lane, the next he was halfway off the right side. I went to pass him and he just kept drifting over towards me, I ended up having to go damn near off the road to keep this idiot from siding into me. I swear, old people need to have their licenses pulled.

It happens :-\. Hope everything works out well. Did they give you any sort of tickets?

The first week I got my license I was stuck behind 19 people with handicapped license plates. Yes, I counted. I was so shitty.

Wow, that's fucking terrible, DFD. I'm glad you made it out alive. Like Chruser said, not many live to tell about falling alseep at the wheel. My uncle didn't.

sry bout ur car and stuff dfd, and uncapped sorry about ur uncle :-/

well when i was a kid, me and my family were driving on the highway in canada and my dad fell asleep at the wheel and some fucking way we were goin 90 mph BACKWARDS and there was a turn right behind us so i woke my dad up and he quickly slammed on the brake and we did a 160 degree stop and we were right next to the turn. If i hadnt waken up, you could have concidered me dead.


And like 3 weeks ago when i was driving to six flags on the highway, i was goin 96 in my car when the truck next to me was goin 65ish so i was on the left lane and he was on the right. All of a sudden right when i was halfway up, he fucking turned a left on me forcing me to brake like crazy. So i was like, is this guy a fucking psycho? Is he trying to trap me in and kill me? So i broke from 96 and got down to 30ish making the car behind me brake as well. I swerved a lil but i was fun and when i passed up to the see the truck drive, he was kissing his male "friend"

I was so shitty.

Haha Lo~L diapo0rrzzz

That really blows and its good you made it out alive DFD. Good thing your smart and had a seat belt on otherwise you would of been dead. Still hard to believe you weren't hurt at all. Luck was on your side. And ummm regarding TK's comment, thats fucking gross and why would they do it on the road. It's crazy what some people do while driving.
