It was a warm summer
evening. My mom and I were running around outside. I
think we might have been playing tag. After the accident, I
don't really remember much of that day. I ran off our
property and into the neighbors yard. Being only 6, I
didn't know any better. It was beginning to get dark and
hard to see everything clearly. As I turned around to look
into my neighbors yard I saw that they had people over. All
of a sudden, I heard people yelling and I saw a big flash. It
was then I realized my neighbors were lighting fireworks and one
went wrong and started spiraling towards me. Looking back, I
realize now that my neighbors were intoxicated. I looked up
just in time to see my mothers terrified face. I think it may
have been the last thing I ever saw. Suddenly, I
felt excruciating pain and
then everything became quiet and still. ChCh
