A journey from the nightmare.

My nightmare journey was last year. I was going with my friend to his grandmother, who lives in Poznań. My friend's grandmother had to pass on very important documents for his mother, Mrs. Margaret Pipe. It was matter of life and death, that's why we wanted to do it as quick as we could. A car, which we were traveling by, was old, rusty and used to break down. We thought everything will be all right but we were wrong?

We set off at 5:00 a.m. from Warsaw. We supposed the journey take about four hours. One hour later, we saw that we had got a puncture. We got irritated! We stopped the car and got out. We kicked the wheel simultaneously. Marian (it was the name of my friend) said he doesn?t have a spare wheel. I looked at him and he looked at me... We were both woeful. We sat down on the ditch and fixed one\'s eyes on the car. Suddenly, we saw a huge long-distance lorry which was overtaking Fiat 126p on right lane, where our car was parked in. We thought the lorry will overtake our car or brake but we were wrong one more time...The lorry, which looked like small train, crashed into our tiny, innocent car and crushed it like matchbox? I looked at Marian who had started laughing and crying at the same time. I told him: ?Don?t worry, everything will be OK!? but he shouted out: ?Don?t drive me mad!?. I didn?t say any more? Policemen arrived few minutes later. They made a note and brought us to home. We didn?t bring the documents, which we were sent for, but we were happy because of we didn?t be in car, when the lorry crashed into it.

Marian?s grandmother sent these documents by delivery service UPS next day. Few months later Marian bought a new sports car. We?ve been traveling more carefully since that accident.

It was the worst journey I?ve ever had!
