Flashbacks

I've never been one to have flashbacks of negative events. Even all the stuff I have seen in EMS never really came back to me as if I was reliving them. Not until today, that is.

I was on my way to the light rail station in my Jeep when suddenly the guy behind me (in a huge black pickup truck) slammed his brakes to avoid hitting me (I was already stopped, and he was not paying attention for some reason). Heard the tires screeching, and watched through my rear-view mirror as he got closer and closer to me. He managed to turn to the right and stopped about an inch away from me. Whew! Got my heart racing this morning!

I got to the light rail train station and hopped on. The adrenaline rush was still with me, and I suddenly started having flashbacks to my accident in May 2006, when I was hit from the rear by an unlicensed, uninsured, illegal immigrant who LEFT HER CAR at the scene of the accident and took off (Hit and run, literally). It was like I was back there again. Really started to shake me up. I wasn't hurt very bad in that accident, so I don't know why I am feeling like this right now, except that it was another close call. Back then, I was just really pissed off. Now, I am just upset.
