Maji's blog: "Life shtuff..."

A recent satirical status about running over a hooker sent my mind to an event far in the past. Ya know how certain things only slightly related can jog something out of your memory.

I had a childhood friend, his name was David. David was quite the wild child when we got in our late teens, and partied to the breech like many of us did.

One evening headed home from of his escapades down the county road that stretched between our homes, he passed out and ran into the ditch. When he came to, he got out to survey the damage, and managed to rev back and forth and maneuver the truck out, and hobbled it home.

Once he got there, his celebration was brief when he surveyed the damage, only to find a body tangled in his bumper and undercarriage.

After much shock and panic and misery about what he had apparently done but could not remember, he contacted authorities to turn himself in. He was taken into custody and was looking at numerous offenses besides the obvious and serious dilemma.

Awhile later, having sat in jail, with nothing to do but agonize, the coroner called to report that things were not as they appear. They maintained that there was no way that he could have killed the person attached to his truck, as this body had been deceased for several days and perhaps close to a week. The body was later identified to be a local vagrant, whom had obviously died while walking beside the road and fell into the ditch.

This meant out of the 20some odd miles of sparsely populated road he wrecked his truck in the very spot where this person fell out dead earlier in the week. David already in major distress, interpreted this as some great epihany, a sign, his life of freedom being spared from major consequences and change, by a technicality of ultimate irony. David was released, only having to arbitrate the lesser driving charges. It seemed our circle of friends hardly had time to share his relief, before he transformed into this full blown born again religious advocate. His denomination, altho I cant remember what its called, was one of the more intense gatherings, where they trance out or sometimes convulse and speak in tongues, etc. Altho I did not in any way disapprove of his salvation, as he had been thru unthinkable turmoil, but alas in what seemed a blink, the person I knew became someone else.

I havent thought about him for a long time, and I cant help but wonder if he's still at it, and how he is doing. Im going to ask the all knowing one of county wide happenings, my grandmother, when I return home again or catch her on the phone. I hope he found peace of heart regardless.
