Describe an event that really frightened you
What I'm going to describe is an event which happened one month ago but it is still very vivid in my mind, as if it happened recentlier. First of all I have to say that I truly enjoy wandering around my city and I used to do it every day. Consequently, as usual, i was returning back home from university by walking.
But that day things went differently. As I was crossing the road, suddenly I felt my feet lost in the air and my back on the ground. I was stunned by the fact that a car had just hitted me. At first I wondered if I was dead or alive. Then I started touching my body, which at first I didn't feel, everywhere in order to understand whether I had injuries somewhere. Everything had just happened so quickly.
Only when I managed to rationally realize what had just happened I started crying so loudly that people around me thought I was suffering because of some wounds. Actually I was only incredibly frightned and scared stiff. Basically the closer they come, the more i screamed.
However after a while I was able to call my dad by telephon. He was the only person I wanted to see in that moment. He hurried up from work to reach me and he immediately called the ambulance even if I asked him not to. Clearly the fact was that I didn't want waste the day in an Emergency Room. Anyway the ambulance drove me to the nearest ER where I spent five hours waiting for them to examinate me.
Finally the examinated me and told me I hadn't serious injuries. Eventually I returned home, still scared but totally relieved to be safe and sound.
