With those final words I was brought back to reality

Because she gave me a push, the distance to the safe zone was shortened. I was a little closer to escaping from the truck but it was still very close. The probability of me escaping changed from 1% to 50%

I'll take whatever I can and leave it to fate

While I was still floating, the frozen world I was seeing started vibrating violently and in an instant it shattered into little pieces like glass

The second it shattered, time started to move again but in slow motion. The truck was coming at me with full speed but it looked like it was slowly moving in my eyes. At that point my body was halfway across and my legs were the only parts in danger of being hit

I'll still be alive if my legs are hit

No-No-No-No! Think positively! I need to get out of this with my whole body intact. And I can't allow this girl to see what "happens" to my body when it gets injured 

The truck was coming towards me and I was slowly moving away from it. Although the truck looked harmless in slow motion, if it touched me I'll be a goner. I started chanting…

‘Make it, Make it, Make it, Make it…’

…repeatedly in my head out of desperation

It was the final moment. The truck was a few inches away me and I was a few centimetres away from escaping. It was anyone's game now. All the adrenaline and fear came back to me. My head blanked out and I could only shout as loud as I could to relieve the stress

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!”

Will I make it or not?

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!”

50%, don't let me down now

“Ahhhhhhhh!!!”

COME ON MAKE IT!!!!!!!!!
