It was a bad accident. He knew that. The SUV had come from out of nowhere and hit them straight on; there hadn't been any time to react or get out of the way. He always knew, somehow, that his life would be filled with drama. He knew that after he graduated from school that he would make lots of money and have lots of friends to keep him company and keep him amused. He knew that he was talented and good looking and that woman were attracted to him. He knew that he would live a long time in health and that he would be well known and admired. He knew that he had everything going for him. But, he hurt all over now as the ambulance sped toward the nearest hospital. He could taste blood in him month and he felt tired. He didn't know where his friend, who was sitting next to him in the car, was now. He could hear the sirens and knew that he would soon be good care, but, as the ambulance stopped and as the back doors opened and as they rushed to get him into the emergency room, he realized, in a crystalline moment, that he really didn't know anything.
