rainy day

Ring! Came the sound of an unwelcome alarm clock. Bleary-eyed,I stumbled out of bed groggily. I lumbered over to the bathroom where my sister was taking a bath. Like a bolt from the blue, a strident screech emnated out of the bathroom and reverberated in the air. I knew that screech too well. It was my sister singing. After what seemed like an enternity, my sister came out of her "karaoke binge". I dashed in and brushed my teeth speedily.Then,I bolted to my bedroom and threw on a set of school uniform,grabbed my bag and swooped downstairs to the kitchen for my breakfast.After gobbling down my breakfast,I went to the door to put on my shoes.As I was tyng my shoelaces, my mother's voice travelled out of the kitchen,"Kevin, remember to bring an umbrella to school, the weather reporter said it might rain today.". But I did not care less.It led to my downfall.
After reaching school, time seemed to slow down at a snails pace.Each hour was like a millenium.After what seemed like an eternity, school ended .The dismisal bell sounded like salvation.I wondered vaguely why the alarm clock and the dismisal bell which sounded the same,created a different reaction towards my system.After wondering for a while,I walked to the gate,the sky was overcast with a mixture of purple and red clouds,thunder rumbled softly in the distance,signalling imminent rain.I hastened my pace, hoping to reach home before it started to rain,but my hopes were dashed when a drop of rain dripped onto my head.Then,a drip turned into a drizzle, and a storm brewed.Torrents of merciless rain pelted down on me.Then wind whipped rentlessly and stung my face.In a matter of minutes,I was soaked to the skin.I stumbled around blindly till I saw a silhouette of a taxi.I hailed it.It travelled steadily towards me.However,in a moment of carelessness,I fell to the road.The driver slammed on the brakes and swerved but to no avail.All I saw was blood soaking my uniform and spurting everywhere.After that,unconsiousness dragged me under and I felt my life ebbing away.
When I woke up, I smelt medicine.I opened my eyes and found myself in the hospital.I saw my parents.They told me that I was brought in by the taxi driver.It served me right for not bringing the umbrella.
