The Soul That's Always Watching

by Josho nikushimi

who knew that when you died god truly did listen to your last thoughts. I should have thought it through better before I was stuck in this continuous loop. I wish somebody would've told me when I was still alive... if I had known, I wouldn't have asked for a second chance in my worthless life.

5. Chapter 5

"Dad? Somethin' wrong?"

The 10-year-old turned to face his father who stood in his bedroom doorway. "No. just wonderin'' if ya wanted to go for a ride?"

Without hesitation, the boy jumped up, abandoning his model dragon, "Is Mum out again?"

"Aye. so we got the house to ourselves."

The son whooped loudly and followed his father our to the garage where the truck was stored. "Wana head down to the river? We could go fishin' or somethin' of the sort."

The boy nodded eagerly sharp eyes staring intently taking n every detail of his father's face. Suddenly alarm flashed across the young boy's rectangular face as the truck rolled down their driveway.

"Stop the car!" it was too late though and as soon as the car rolled onto the road, the minivan crashed into the side of the truck.

"Son!"

The boy cried out in pain as mettle pierced his skin, and the bending of the car snapped his arm and leg, leaving them dangling there at odd angles. It was his body first, then his head. He didn't have a single moment of time to process the pain as a particularly sharp piece of glass pierced his head and everything once again went black.
