Chapter: 1/1

Disclaimer. ALL OF THEM BELONG TO ME!!!!! Incredible…. But the incident don't.

Hey There! Nice to meet ya! I'm Damien Maxwell, only son and offspring of Duo Maxwell. Hell, I don't know who my mom is. She died giving birth to me. So… I'm digressing. I'm here to relate a tale that happened to me a few days ago. Something that changed my view of some people, a lot of people actually.

It began with me just going home from school, normal. I was struggling to understand the facts and the goddamned calculus that Mrs Lim gave us. I was sure I had like enough papers to fill the refrigerator at home. We're talking about my father, the bottomless pit here.

At the train station, I was struggling with my papers I my hand listening to my Discman at almost top volume and generally ignoring the things happening around me. I was just walking on the platform when I heard (softly) FeiFei calling me. FeiFei, or Fei Ling, is an acquaintance. I saw him and scowled back. I went on with my work, fixing my recalcitrant Discman.

FeiFei is an irritating son of a bitch that just happened to be in the same class as me. But for that day, I'm grateful of him. He quickly pulled me back, depriving my ears of the earphones.

"What's the idea?!?" I cried. I picked up my dropped headpiece. The Chinese boy forcefully pulled me back. I of course shouted out in anger. "What's up with you?" I gathered the dropped pieces of paper.

"You were about one step to your death if I didn't stop you." He explained. I looked to my prior position and turned bout as pale as flatbread dough. My papers had dropped down the platform to the tracks. My insufferable pride didn't have enough grace to thank him so. I nodded at him. As I looked around, I saw this girl about my age.

She similarly had her ears plugged and was sifting through her papers. She, too, was walking absently. Then from the corner of my eye, I saw the train approaching it was coming fast and didn't seem to want to stop. That single fact worried me. The girl was too engrossed in her papers that she didn't hear me calling to her.

Then, everything went so slow, it was agonising. I saw the initial hit of flesh against moving train, her surprised cry shutting off, and her being dragged towards the wheels. Then we didn't see anymore. I heard that she got dragged on the underside of the train for a few metres before she suddenly slipped UNDERNEATH, got wedged between wheels. Last I heard o the girl, was that her body had been severed from the waist down. She was still clinging to life. Then the train passed. It didn't stop. We quickly went to the edge looking for her. When we found her…she saw me and smiled. The girl died then. The smile was still on her face.

If I were a girl, I would've cried down there. The horror of just seeing the body was enough. But seeing the whole collision happening right in front of your eyes was different. It was then I recognised her face. It was my classmate at school, Mandy Yuy. The school klutz that had a crush on me since god knows when.

I just took a deep breath and looked away. We were the main witnesses and were detained at the police post for a long time. Too long a time, it was terrible repeating the whole incident over and over again. I jut hope that Mr and Mrs Yuy would forgive me. I couldn't save their only daughter and child.

A/N: My take on the people's POV of the accident that did happen. I was on the train too. When my Discman died at the station, I said, "You had to die now." Unknowingly somebody had died. Boy was I laughing at the irony. So sad….
