the one with the crash
was enroute back to the agency from client's place when their cab got into an accident on the highway. she and em were busy chatting at the back and freaked out when their cabbie and jessie (in the front seat) started shouting "oh my God, oh my God". apparently, the vehicles in front started slowing down quite suddenly (for God knows what reason) and the (half dreaming) cabbie didn't realise how close we were until the eleventh hour. he tried jamming the brakes but we could see the crash coming cos there's just NO WAY we could slow down in time given the speed we were going at the close distance. the cab's front bonnet was three quarts squashed while the boot and back half of the other car was badly damaged. they had to wait for another cab in the middle of a hot and dusty highway cos the impact killed the cab's engine. she felt bad for the cabbie who now had to forfeit his $1,500 bond. weirdest thing was...the driver in front wasn't pissed at all?!? that dude apparently owns a car rental company and even came over to pass us his name card. jeez! freaky experience.you know how some people say you see your life unfolding in front of you in times of impending danger?
not exactly.
cos her mind was a complete blank.
