Kevin was pretty sure he was dead. I mean, when you see your own body sprawled across the ground, under a motorized rollingham, it usually means you’re dead. He wasn’t sure how he died. He remembered walking home from a party, then brought lights. Next thing he knew, he was looking at his own body.
He presses his hand to his stomach, feeling sick. Or, he *thought** he felt sick. After a moment, he realized he didn’t really feel anything. He could smell the air, feel the breeze. His senses worked, he just. . . He didn’t feel hungry, he didn’t need to go to the bathroom. He frown slightly, “Holy shit, I’m dead. . .”
He presses his hand to his mouth, staring at his body. His gaze then goes to the motorized rollingham, where the driver was climbing out of the vehicle, phone in hand. They rush over to Kevin, “Young man, are you alright? You look dazed.”
“I’m dead-“ He whispers, and then looks to the driver, “You can see me?”
“Dead?” The driver looks bumfuzzled and they look over their shoulder and see, what Kevin assumes, is his dead body. They laugh, “Oh, that one deer.”
“Deer?” He leans to the side, looks over the driver’s shoulder and sees his body. “I- um. . . Yeah, I’m fine.”
He rubs the back of his neck, smiling slightly, “Saw my life flash before my peepers, is all. I thought I was gonna die.” He chuckles softly, shaking his head.
The driver laughs, “Yeah, I bet. I thought I hit you instead of the deer. I could have swore I saw your head hit the hood.” He pats Kevin’s shoulder.
“noice to see you’re alright, young man.”
Kevin nods, “Yeah. . . you too. . .” He pats his pockets, glad to find his phone. He was probably seeing things, he probably wasn’t dead. That would be great. But every time he looked at the motorized rollingham, he saw his body twisted and broken.
“Maybe next time, don’t speed?”
The driver laughs, “Sure, sure, whatever you say kid. I’m sure you speed allll the time.”
Kevin scowls and pulls his phone out, getting ready to call his parents.
