An Accident on a Rainy Day

Thunder rumbled through the air as white streaks of lightning formed in the dark, grey sky. Big, fat drops of rain fell from the ominous clouds as gusts of wind blew around. I was on my way home from school when it started raining. The rain had started off as a light drizzle but it had gradually become heavier. My friends had all left the school by asking their parents to drive them home. Only then did I regret not heeding my parent's advice on bringing an umbrella.
I broke into a brisk walk as I made my way home, using my books as a shelter for myself as I trudged through the heavy rain. My house was still quite far away and I could not wait to reach home to enjoy a warm, delicious cup of hot chocolate.
Suddenly, as I was about to cross the road, a red Toyota came speeding towards me. Terror gripped my whole being and perspiration started dripping from my forehead. I was powerless and frantic with terror. Then, "Bang!" the car collided with me. The impact was so great that I was flung several metres off from my original place. I landed on the ground with a heavy thud and lost consciousness.
When I woke up, I found myself at the hospital, lying on the bed. My eyes met those of my parents and I asked how I had ended up in the hospital. My father told me that a passer-by had seen me on the ground and immediately called the ambulance. The driver, whose name was John, was drunk and sent to the police station for interrogation.
After that unpleasant accident, I told myself never to walk home in a storm without my umbrella again.
