It all happened so fast. The sound of an explosive firing at my chest, the smell of the air bag remnants, and the sight of two totaled cars. The first thought I had was: "my brother is going to kill me".
It had only been a week since I left the Secretary of State with the teenage triumph of my driver’s license. The urge to drive to school was irresistible, despite my brother adamantly opposing the prospect of me driving his car. Just once wouldn’t hurt!
In the ensuing days, the accident replayed in my head non-stop, forcing me to think how it could have been prevented. If I had listened to my brother. I would not have to have this conversation - about how I totaled his first car.
Facing him was difficult, but had to be done. And that discussion
