The car was speeding, in the highway, the cops were following behind. The car reached an inter-section, were the driver ignored the traffic lights and almost collied with a huge truck. If the two had collided, the impact would have been direct, strong and fatal, people would have died, even passerby’s. The police were still on the tail of the car even closer, the other cop car was almost over-taking the BMW. I fastened my seatbelt not sure if l was afraid or thrilled with the speed and the chase. I could see the smile on the person who driving, a weird and devilish smile. He increased the speed and the police cars were beat to the chase.
As the driver was laughing at the distance which had been created and how we were now able to get away from the cops, there was a loud noise and then another one but this time louder than the former. I could not believe that the cops had opened fire at us just because we had been parking illegally and making noise near the State House, and when they asked for our identification cards, we made a run for it.
The thought of a bullet blowing off my head made me close my eyes but l could feel that l was turning and due to this emotion l almost vomited. That is when l realized that the loud noises were not gunfire but one of the car’s tire had exploded. When l opened my eyes, the car was in the air, how it happened l did not know.it flipped thrice in the air before making an engagement with the ground, and it rolled over and over and over, l lost count of how many times the BMW rolled over.
When it halted, l found myself standing outside the car, without a single scratch or anything. l felt no pain, l thought l was numb so l started to move around and still there was no pain, probably l had been thrown out of the car earlier. I was relieved and smiled, that is when l thought about my friends. When l looked around, l was shocked, the car was in a state l cannot even explain.it was an unbearable site, something l don’t want to relive. The car which was always said the it would never land on its back was on its back. Two wheels were missing, the bonnet was open, l don’t know if the engine was still in there. Two doors were open and the cars body was smashed pretty bad.
I walked around of what was left of the car, that’s when l come in contact with the other me. l was partly in the care and partly out. l was laying still no movement, nothing. l looked at my friends, they were both screaming and trying to get out. l returned my attention to me, the t-shirt which was once white was now blood-red, there was a deep cut on my neck, a piece of metal was stuck in my chest. I was so confused, how was it possible to have two of me in the same country. I thought doppelgangers were meant exist in another country and we are never to meet. The police arrived at the scene and weirdly on of them walked right through me, that’s when it struck me. l had witnessed my death.
