A Day of No Luck

Today was not my day. A horrible day of no luck at all.

This morning I drove my car for the first regular vehicle check in three years. The sky was overcast. I drove while looking for the exact location of the check point. Then within seconds the car hit upon the tail of a little truck in front. My car was badly damaged, while the truck’s tail only mildly broken. Yet I have to pay for the double damage. The fee on my part, after the price check, has already risen up to around 40,000, not including the check on and fix of the engine if necessary. The fee on the other party is up to now unclear as I’m waiting for the phone call concerning the price. It’s like waiting for the final conviction.

I dare not imagine how much this accident due to my carelessness will cost me at last. My only hope is that the owner of the truck would be kind enough to ask for a reasonable fee. As for the condemnation on my part: aside from the large amount of money to pay, I will suffer for long my having no car to drive and my difficulty, a formidable one, in telling my family the truth.

Really want to cry. Yet no tears. Only blank stares at the void in the air.
