My ride to work
Topic: Death
Today, as I rode my bike up a street which I take everyday to work, I caught a glimpse of death, or at least a sight which reminded me of my own inevitable death which will some day fall upon me. As a taxi with three passengers passed me just before reaching the corner were I was to turn right, I caught a glance at what appeared to be a small frail body lying in the back seat in a hospital gown. The taxi pulled ahead of me, too soon to decipher what exactly I had seen. The light ahead was red so the taxi stopped in front of me, I sped up in order to get another look at what I had seen, as I passed the taxi I looked into the window and saw an old woman lying in the back seat, the woman by her side, who I imaged to be her daughter held her hand, I thought to myself, "She doesn't have long to live". I turned the corner and soon forgot about what I had seen and thought moments ago.
