You know, it's kinda cool being an angel in heaven. I don't know why they let me in, though, after what I did. Maybe God or Jesus took pity on me. I dunno. I like being my two children's guardian angel. Now I see everything they do, which sometimes is good and sometimes not. The girls, Mandy and Tara, were so sad. It crushes me to see them cry about their dead father. I try to tell them it's okay, but I cannot. I can't make contact with the living, which I think is total bull.

A bunch of people came to my funeral. I couldn't watch though. It made knots in my stomach to see my own dead body, so I didn't stay.

My wife already got a new boyfriend even though it's only been seven months after my accident. But I wanna kill the guy, because he's cheating on my wife. That dirty son of a *****! I wanna punch him, as hard as I can, but my fist would only go through his body. Pisses me off.

I might as well tell you my little accident, seeing I've been talking about it but now saying how it happened. I'm bored, so why not?

I was driving down the road, off to home. I had just come back from my friend Dan's house. We watched some basketball. The Pistons kicked Laker's' ass! Woohoo! Me and Dan were ecstatic when the Pistons won by one more point. It was so epic. So it was about eleven PM at night, closing in on midnight like a predator and its prey. So I grabbed my keys, gave Dan a high-five, took a little something and headed off to the driveway.

Three minutes later I found myself a little buzzed. I'm not the one to get drunk easily, and I only had one Miller Light. I knew that wouldn't get me drunk, so I came to the conclusion that I could drive to home. After all, it was only six miles away. What could happen in that short amount of time?

That's when it happened. It seemed like it was in slow-motion. I was having a giggle fit, and I let my hands go free from the wheel to scratch my ear. I was buzzed, but being buzzed isn't enough to make you stupid enough to pay no attention to the road, right?

The car swerved left, and then right, then started to go left again.All the while, I was laughing like a madman. My Toyota hit a tree, and it caught fire. I hit my head against the dashboard, and my giggling stopped. I tried to open the door, then, my car exploded. I was dead.

Now I'm an angel. I'm in heaven.I'm dead. Finished.

And it's all because I took one for the road...

Posted by Zombie Punk 2008-06-27 23:08:25 .... So you givin out a message here? Dont drink and drive. To tell you the truth it seemed like one of those bad documentaries they show you in school. I think you might need to reread this and fix a few errors. Umm...he got buzzed after only one LIGHT beer? That kinda seemed unrealistic to me. I mean, damn that dude was a major lightweight! I got what you were writing and i thought it was pretty cool. just because of one for the road there was death, his wife got an unfaithful boyfriend, his children were sad and possibly suicidal. I give you four out of five for story. I just thought the one light beer made it unbelievable. + Report this comment

Gotta agree with the ZP.This story has nothing new.Guy dies, he misses everyone and he is so angry then he gives us one last bit of advice.I just wrote your story in 19 words.You have an idea that could be worked and it was wrote pretty well.Did'nt see any grammar issues or spelling.Just promise me one thing don't turn this into aseries.But if you dont agree , dont pm just do what most so-called author's do.Delete my comment. + Report this comment
Posted by Something Indecent 2008-06-28 02:26:33 .... One beer? That would do nothing to impair him. This story was redundant and all but if you thought it was important and relevant to you then all the more power to ya. I just think that most readers are familiar with this kind of story. + Report this comment

Posted by Dragon Knight/wbboomer 2008-08-19 00:03:47 Forgot something... I forgot to tell you guys this was for a school assignment so I couldn't really do anything "adultish" that would make this slightly more interesting. I wasn't even going to post this, but my father got into my account (only God knows how) and posted it himself. I was gonna delete this right away, but it won't let me. I'm really pissed now...:) + Report this comment
