My name doesn't matter neither does my average face.I was born to be forgotten.
Now I'm swimming through a crowd on the sidewalk to get to work.
I'm just your regular office drone with no future except retirement.But at that point though your just waiting to die.
The first years of my life my parents died leaving me to a childrens home.I was fostered twice but no adoption .
School? I was a delinquent.I used to have pent up rage so I took it out on other delinquent types .I wasn't even a good delinquent.Half the time I would just get my ass beat up.
By some miracle I made it to college with my 2.5 gpa ,and history of school violence.Got a degree in zoology.I wanted to be a wildlife biologist. But We know how that turned out, and now I'm just saddled with debt cause of it.
Feeling water droplets hit my ruffled hair I deploy my floral patterned umbrella and several others soon follow.
Waiting to cross the road I readjust my tie and pull out my phone to check the time.
8:55, 5 minutes till work. Guess I should hurry.
I push myself to the front of the crowd to the crosswalk a trail of my apologies following me.
I stand there in the cold for 2 more minutes till it says we can cross. I jog ahead of the crowd not trying to be late.
My boss said he'll dock my pay if I'm late again so that's why I'm in a rush.
HONK!HONK!HONK!
Jogging into the middle of the street I hear a trail of honks.
Then WHAM!
My whole right side is hit sending me flying but that isn't the worst part,The worst part is the landing.When I land my body skids on the road grinding the flesh on my body it's excruciatingly painful .
I fall out of consciousness right there on the road with horrific screams in my ears.
When I drift back into consciousness I'm in a ambulance.
Looking to my left I see a young paramedic vomiting in a corner being taken care of by a older paramedic.Turning to the right I see the reason for the puke.
Looking into the reflection of a oxygen tank I see my face.The entire right side of my face is bloody raw flesh with bits of my bone in it.
Jesus.I guess I won't be as forgettable as I thought.
Seeing that my consciousness fades again but this time it feels permanent.
Shit.Gu…ess I'm gonna d…
