How a Robin sings pt 1

Darkness. The impeding darkness that pierces my vision. There was no way out. No light. Nothing could allow me to see through that murky doom. It hadn’t always been this way. Before the accident at least. I was still able to enjoy the lush green grass, the bright blue sky, and the rich colors of the city. That was long gone though. My sight disappeared along with my parents. Just because of one driver, too careless too look up from there phone. One accident. From that my whole life shattered before my eyes , my now dead eyes. Then of course nothing. That’s all there was. Nothing.

It was an average day. The robins were chirping trying to be heard over the sound of the obnoxious city traffic. A little girl (me) looks out from her window of a bright yellow car spotting it and waves to it in glee. She wished she could sing with the birds all day like she used too, without a care in the world, but she couldn’t. She was entering the plague that had decided children lives since they could even remember. School. The crisp morning air bit at her nose as she looked out of her window wistfully. Her parents were talking, well arguing, probably about something stupid. Like bills or money. The little girl sees it coming A bright red car enters her vision from the intersection not look as if it was slowing down anytime soon. The driver was talking on his phone. Jeeze everyone seemed to be angry today.. Well, it was a Monday. She tries to speak up and warn her parents but they just tell her to sit still and be quiet. Then it hits them. The car explodes into their sides knocking them over.  They tumble for what seems hours but in reality is only a couple of second. When they finally come to a stop the little girl is now laying on the bottom of the car . Glass surrounds her butting into her fragile skin. She sits up holding her head in pain and starts to cry softly. Her whole body was in pain, especially her head. For some reason, everything seemed to get a little darker. A little less colorful. Through the tears she looks up wondering why one of her parents haven’t scooped her up telling her it was going to be alright. Their bodies lay in a tangle very still; a crimson pool surrounds them growing larger as time goes by.

“m-mommy? D-daddy?” She crawls over to them trying to shake them awake. They just ley there unresponsive, we have to fear the worse but the child refuses to admit it, “Wake up! Please!” She sobs shaking them frantically the bottom of her dress stained red.
That’s how they found her. One of the paramedics reaches inside the car pulling out the none-resistant child. She barley had any life in her now. Her vision starts getting more blurred as she stares up at the man carrying her. The man that was driving the reckless vehicle was getting pushed into a car, its red and blue lights flashing. Later he would be charged with manslaughter but, that wouldn’t bring her parents back. The child looks up into the tall oaks as she gets placed gently into a large stretcher. A robin sings in the tree and slowly its bright red chest fades from view turning into the darkness she knows so well today. She wouldn’t be going to school today, but neither would she sing with the robins again. Sadly, that was the last thing she would ever see.
