ariya is 24 year's old ordinary guy living in Middle East, working part time job in kebab restaurant ,today like any other day he was washing dishes absent mindly until he heard a voise.
"hey what's up? you're being so gloomy and quite like an hour" asked artuz while sweeping the kitchen
*he is one of ariya coworkers and ferinds*
"nothing just thinking"
"about?"
"the coronava virus, the Australia fire, Iran attack against US military base, ww3, recent earthquakes, US sanctions.. it's just doesn't feel right, it's like the end world or something" ariya answered while putting the last dish in the dishes Place turning around looking at a 30 year's young man.
artuz stopped sweeping the floor and gave him a dumbfounded Look and said;
"are you a idiot? stop spending time on social media and thinking stupid things, instead think about yourself, you don't have any real job, wife or house when are you going to start think of your future"
ariya could tell he has good intentions by his Serious look but he didn't take it to heart because he didn't have any plans for the future, how could he? he just made 10$ by working 8 hours a day.
just Enough for basic needs not dreaming, yes that's right having proper job, wife and house is deaming with that much money, yet he told him" you're right, my shift is almost over do you need help with the sweeping? "
artuz sigh to himself and lost all serious looks and said
"no man, tanks my shift ends one hour ether way.go it's cloudy day it might rain and get stuck"
"OK see you tomorrow"
said Ariya and left for locker in the back room to change.
...
outside restaurant ariya took phone to check on novels he's like so much and reading everyday
"finally I'm out of that gloomy restaurant, it's 4pm and sky is dark and? no update on my favorite novel,sigh" said ariya to himself while waking and refresh the page of websites. soon he reached Intersection and took a cab, he sat in front cheer of cab "downtown" he said. in the minute his thought goes about artuz,
'he's working on two jobs and has a wife who's working too and yet they can't afford to have children, not yet anyways, so why bother go through all that for what? life? future? no no stop this troubling thoughs, think of novels you did save money to buy a cheep Chinese phone that you can afford not some unreachable future'
he was lost in thought his right hand on the window of car and his left hand holding the phone then suddenly a bright light hits the antenna near buildings and struck his right hand time slowed down he could see lighting burning his hand, horrified look of cab driver and how he's losing control of car, he could see the opposite car trying not to hit them, the started
Face's of people on sidewalk but he couldn't move an inch and later he heard a screech and felt a bang then nothing total nothingness.
on street people gathered around the accident place to see what's happening, some of the crowd went to check on them, soon one of people who went shouted
"this one is a Ok just his head bleeding a little someone call a Ambulance!"
then comes another shout
"these two are live but they are Unconscious"
in the crowd someone pushed others comes forward and said "I'm a doctor don't move them let me have look" and make a way to unconscious guy's in car.
'this one mild traumatic brain injury his heart rate is little up most likely he will be fine, and another one WTF? half of his body is burned? where is the fire? ok let's check the heart rate first.. doesn't look good unsteady heart rate, probably some severe traumatic brain injuries and third-degree burns with proper care he most likely lives but with that kind of brain damage he may not be able to wake up and goes to comma'
---------------------
somewhere else ariya opens his dazed eyes to see a blurry sky and it came a terrible headache he immediately seat's down,he closed his eyes at the same time put both his hands on his head squeezed to lessen the pain,
"ahhhhhhhhhh" he screamed, after few seconds the pain got better not gone just better. new that he can stop screaming and breathe he heard a White voise in his ear, in his state of dazed and confused he keeps trying to stand up but keeps failing,again and again.
finally he comes to his senses and seat's with hands on the Knees..
"'just seat, seat a little, I'm calm, breathe..
in *nufff* out *huuuuu*'"
he told himself to calm down his nerv,
when he was calm enough he jumped on his feet losing balance and fall on his a**
"where the heck am I?"
he looks at suranding to find something familiar but anywhere he looks nothing is familiar, his heart start's pounding like a stereo. tree's..
tree's are every where!
