Being Human
SKEER, CRASH! The person driving in front of you just swerved off the road and slammed head-on with a telephone pole, what would you do? A couple of years ago I was put into this situation, with a friend of mine, and completely froze in my tracks. Jeff told me “Mitchell we have to help, this guy could be dead for all we know”. I was a little reluctant but it didn’t take me long too agreed. So, we go on out there and this guy’s car is absolutely destroyed; there was not one part on the front of his car that was not cracked or dented. Fortunately, the man was somehow completely okay, therefore, Jeff and I just stuck around and comforted him until the first responders showed up. The man thanked us for our help and shortly after we
