The next decade....what's in store?

Weird Accident

I could do nothing as the steering wheel seemed to develop a mind of its own. We were careening down a winding road, with a precipice on the left side.

As the road veered to the right, the steering wheel stayed to the left. Soon, the car inevitably jumped over the safety rail and plunged.....how deep we did not know.

I was the driver, and at first, when the car left the road I was terrified, but as the car began to seemingly float to safety below, a calm came over me.

None of my passengers screamed. There was my father, aunt, sister and my niece plus me. It was the Volvo 840 - a very sturdy car. Maybe that is what made me feel relatively safe.

The car landed without much impact on a road several thousand feet below. I drove it to a halt, we got out, surveyed the damage and were relieved that no one or nothing was damaged. I made an attempt to start the car and lead it from its resting place through the dark night up to resume our planned journey. "Oh no", my father said, and took the wheel. Soon, we were on our way merrily, as if nothing had happened.

A miracle? Nope. My dream last night! (I didn't eat anything devilish I swear!)
