The Mundane Extraordinaire

Prologue

        "Kana! Let's go, it is getting dark!" Sasha screamed at her. She's about 400 meters away, riding on her bicycle. 

    Kana looks up to the sky. The sky is gray due to bad weather, indicating that in any minute it will turn to pitch black so they must hurry. She's living on the country side, meaning there are no sufficient supply of electricity for extra streetlights and it is hard going home of she's still here by 6 pm.  

    She pedaled hard. She needs to go home since the rain starts to drizzle. The unpaved roads are starting to get muddy and slippery. She sighed. She cannot wait to attend college so she can be out of this poor town. For eighteen years, she's suffering. 

    She needs to keep up with Sasha who's almost 600 meters away from her. Sasha is her best friend. The are both attending a community high-school and now on their last year. She's off to a popular State College next year. She can't wait to be out of this town.

    No offense meant. She loves it dearly. She grew up here but she's craving to explore a more civilized town, with cafes and shops, unlike this place. All she can see are trees and mountains. She felt that she's not cut to live in a place like this. 

        "Sasha, wait up!" She called her. 

        "Boo, Kana! What are you? A turtle?"

    Sasha laughs and makes her turn to the zigzag road. Of course, she's tired today. She had her PE class today which made her play sports that she's not into. She ran all day under the scorching sun and pedaling on her bicycle makes her feel that her both knees will fall off her joints.

    The rain starts to pour. She curses under her breath. Good thing she's wearing her rain coat before leaving the school but the problem is, it is starting to make the roads slippery. She slowed her way down the zigzag part of the road when she saw a streak of light illuminating on her back with a long blow of its horn. 

    She turns to look at it, shock envelops her whole face.

    The truck is losing it's control in the slippery road.

    And it is coming her way.

    She tried to remove her small frame in front of the truck but she lost time, she just closed her eyes and feel her whole body, losing its grip on her bicycle, flying many meters away from it.

    Anticipating her death, she lost her consciousness.
