I am a pedestrian. I want to cross the road. The cars should stop because I want to cross. I will not stop. Why? Because I have a right to cross anywhere anytime and the cars should stop whenever they see me crossing!

Right. Chanting that in my head, I dart my vision left and right before I decide to step further. Pedestrian light hasn't turned green yet but why would I follow that thing? Everyone, including me has rights to cross the road whenever we want to and a traffic light certainly wouldnt be in our way. The road is busy but I know they would stop when they see me crossing. I am certain of that.

One step. Two steps. Three steps. Four steps.

Nothing happen! See? It is my right as a pedestrian to cross and cars should stop when they see me! Not the other way around!

Eek! A loud screech surfaces my right side. When I dart my head, a huge truck is approaching, with its driver struggling hard to stop the vehicle. I am frozen. I admit I am a little scared but I will not die here. I am still young and still have many things to explore in the world and God will certainly not make me die here right now! This is not the way I will die. I am cert-

BAM!

I feel someone grabbed my waist violently. A loud thud hit my head and a whimper escapes my lips. When I open my eyes, I am at the other side of the road. This tard! Who do you think you are to touch me and have the ing nerve to ing push me like you are in control of me! I am in control of myself!

"ARE YOU ING CRAZY, WOMAN! IF YOU WANT TO DIE, PLEASE DIE SOMEWHERE ELSE NOT HERE!"
