Thank you all for your kind wishes. I've decided to take an extra day to recover fully, but uploads will resume today. Thankfully, I didn't sustain any serious injuries in the accident, but the shock still lingers, affecting my well-being. I'll be releasing a Chapter each day as I regain my strength.
As for the driver involved, he was intoxicated. A certified idiot that endangered his own family(a wife and a very young daughter, she looked like she was about 6 years old) and others.
But, I chose not to press charges.
The little girl was devastated, and I could see the fear in her eyes. That moment shaped my decision. I wasn't hurt, and her father, along with his wife, begged for forgiveness while their daughter cried uncontrollably. Pressing charges might have left a scar on her heart that could take years to heal. I just couldn't bring myself to do that to a child.
Life is fragile, and the choices we make ripple far beyond ourselves. I hope you guys can bring yourselves to forgive if given the chance one day.
I have no enemies lol.
Please, take care of yourselves and others on the road. Stay focused and drive safely, because we never know who shares the road with us.
See ya!
