It Seemed Like a Dream

The truck came out of nowhere and broadsided his car Judy's head hit the window She began bleeding from the blow other cars started skidding in the snow It was awful these situations were NEVER ODD OR EVEN It Seemed Like A Dream And everything appeared to be going slow "Safety Doesn't Happen By Accident" They were actually on their way to Canada to visit friends Now it was Stares, Dares, Scares, Fears and Tears They heard the ambulance And in the 'Hazy Shade Of Winter' They were Quickly taken to the hospital, to Speedily Commence their treatment and Begin to heal, for a fresh Start, a Birth, a New beginning They were Happy to be alive, and tears welled up in their Eyes Emotionally drained and 'Running On Empty' Although sometimes appearing to be in a trance Judy felt better 'Next Morning When She Awoke'... ~ For Tracie's Mish- Mash contest

An accident in a dream is not as expensive as real life; either way they are a scarey disaster. You make it all feel so real. All the best in the contest Joseph.

Accidents are awful - I like how you have them seeing it as a fresh start, when it can be so depressing, espcially if you're injured. good luck in the contest :)
