Car Crash

Early morning along the commute an SUV rear-ended my ride, it was downtown and I was taking the bus, so of course I’m fine. The noise of impact scared me, a few people shouted or cried out when it happened but I don’t think I felt the collision, and I can’t remember making any gasp or scream (but maybe I did? I really can’t remember). Usually its uneventful on public transportation but today was the rare trip with some kind of minor drama. It’s been more than fifteen years since I stopped driving and this really reminded me again: it’s a great feeling to walk away from a crash, safely in perfect health while all the damages and insurance payments, police reports, that is someone else’s problem, entirely. I was two stops away from my destination so it wasn’t a huge inconvenience either. A few passengers who exited the bus before me were outside heckling the SUV driver, asking how did he not see a bus?! If any car brain psycho drivers read this, please be careful omg
