The Scariest Day of my Life

Today was the scariest day I've ever lived. I went with my Dad, my Step-mum and my little sister for a drive in the country, and we were travelling down a narrow dirt road when a truck came speeding down a hill straight at us, driving in the middle of the road! He saw us (hannon Eru!) and Dad swerved to the edge of the road and we narrowly missed hitting the truck. The truck driver was such an idiot! I could kill him! He nearly killed me and my family!!!!! Death.... I've been contemplating it ever since, and I've decided I don't want to die yet.... I haven't done anything with my life yet. It's scary to think that death can come so close.... and that I wouldn't have been able to do anything to stop it. Humans seem to think they're invincible, but we're often wiped out by the things that we invented.... cars, guns, bombs, planes.... but why? Why are humans so stupid as to not be more careful? Don't people understand that speeding down a narrow dirt road with a truck is just stupid and dangerous??? What's wrong with the world that we live in? (sorry.... I'm writing too many questions) I will never say 'Kill you' to anyone ever again.... because I know I don't mean it, so why should I joke about something like that?

I've decided that I don't want to be human anymore. I'm an elf! Got that? Elves don't go aroung killing each other.... and they don't have guns and bombs and cars. They're peaceful people.... who have learned to live with nature, rather than kill it to build houses, roads and skyscrapers. Why do elves only live in Middle Earth? WHY? And how do I get there?

I should be happy.... happy to be alive, but for some reason I can't be. I am thankful that I didn't die, but it scared me so much that death can come so close, and that if Dad had made the wrong decision we could have all died. It was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me, and I've been teary and shakey all day since then. I hope that truck driver learns his lesson and will be more careful in the future, because if he's not, he might actually kill someone one day.

Please world... war is the stupidest invension humans have ever made, because both sides lose lives, and both sides mourn their dead and wish they hadn't died. It's all a stupid loss of life. Why can't the world be peaceful? Why can't we solve things using words and logic rather than guns and bombs?

Ok, maybe I should stop ranting now.... and do homework. I just don't seem to be able to concentrate whenever I'm trying to write my essay for english or do my maths, but I'll try again. Noooo, the holidays are nearly over! That's so unfair! Only 2 more days (plus the little bit remaining of today) before school starts.

Ok, goodbye everyone! Hannon le Eru, an hebel nín band – an hebel nín cuil!
