Bam! The next moment, I realized my body was on the ground unable to move. Using the side of my eyes, my wrecked motorcycle was in front of me. Voices came out from here and there, and I became the center of attention in the middle of one busy street. Suddenly, in the middle of chaos, the sound of the ambulance was heard from far far away. Right before I could recover my unconsciousness, it was right in front of me. "Hey, are you alright? Are you able to move?" one of the emergency medical technician shouted out to me. I nodded slowly and they immediately moved me into the ambulance.
I was nervous, scared, and worried. Countless worries ran in my mind but stopped when the emergency technician started to ask me all sort of questions in Chinese like, "Can I please see your ID, can you lift up your arms and legs, how do you feel?" It had been too long hearing that amount of Chinese so I was lost in confusion. I stuttered and it made it feel like a fool. While processing every question, I arrived at the emergency room. Immediately, I was in front of the x-ray room. Once I was out, the doctors and nurses worked their magic on my cuts and scars. My parents finally found me in the hospital. After three hours of disaster, I was finally on the car going home. The very first question my brother asked was, "Did you feel like you were going to die? Time went by really slow, right?" Although it was quite an experience and probably something I would never want to go through again, it was the highlight of my summer back home.
OMG! I hope you are good now. I really really enjoyed reading your story since it made me imagine the scene in my head. The one detail that made this experience real to me was the part where you wrote about the voices coming out from here and there and hearing the sound of the ambulance. Also, the dialogues you wrote makes the story be more fun to read. :)
ReplyDeletea.Using quotation marks made this experience seems real to me.
ReplyDeleteb: I'm confused about the circumstance at that time. Did she went to China for studying abroad? or she and her family live there?
c: Starting with the sounds like bam!! attracts my attention. i can get into this writing with interest. so i think it is good begging
d: She usaully used past tense. and it didn't change. i think it is an appropriate tense for this kind of writing.
e: I want to know about the exact background of that circumstance. who made an accident and why?
Final
ReplyDeleteIt had only been two weeks of summer break and I’ve just arrived in this island called Taiwan. I’ve lived here since two months of birth and have never lived anywhere else. That summer break was something I had been waiting for the whole semester. I was so thrilled and excited to go back and have fun, but it didn’t quite happen the way I planned out.
