A State of Shock

I am still in shock following an incident after work on Thursday evening. It was about 10.30pm and I was tired and glad to be heading home, was listening to yet more drivel the radio about the Jonathan Ross saga as I pulled up at the traffic lights of a large roundabout in the town centre. Suddenly the rear door opened and it felt as id time stood still in that moment of sheer panic a person leapt onto the back seat and another person piled in. When they spoke I realised that it was Laura and her friend Iqra. My heart was thumping, I really thought something terrible was about to happen and it took me ages to calm down. The girls had been to a party in town but they decided to leave early and get a lift home with me, but they were later than planned and they almost missed me. They saw me driving past them and they ran after me and jumped into the car when I stopped at the lights. It was such a dangerous thing to do, they could easily have been hurt if I had pulled away suddenly, but thankfully they were OK and I was terrified but unharmed – except for a few more grey hairs!
