cucumber

the car spun out of control, from lane 1 to lane 3 of the expressway, coming only to a stop because of the wall. the car was facing the oncoming traffic, and so badly damaged, it can't be moved without a tow truck.

rain kept falling. seconds ticked away like though everything in slomo. a cisco traffic warden, emas, scdf paramedics and a TP dropped by before there were any real progress in the situation.

and all these time, my darling wife who was at the wheel was very cool. didn't kick up a big fuss and was relatively calm. her heart rate and blood pressure logged normal by the paramedics and I on the other hand, was having ragingly high measurements. even the emas guy commented that she was extremely cool as a cucumber about it!

but of course we thank God that we were not injured and no innocent folks were dragged into this.
