The truck (a very short story)

They were lying to you. It was a sunny day, I was walking, I don't remember exactly where I was heading to. It happened so quickly. I looked to the woman walking ahead. She was walking slowly. Her little daughter was walking with a more quick pace. Her dress was pink. I felt something coming to my left, I turned to see the truck. Remember when they told about that moment, when you remember, in a quick flash, everything in your life, just before you die? I bet it was a lie. You just don't remember anything. You are just standing up there empty, and helpless. He didn't even find the time to use the horn. He lost control of everything. The only sound that I heard was the tires screeching.. The side mirror barely touched my nose while I was standing there as static as a tree. The truck wasn't in a date with me. It was the lady and her girl. A bloody date.
