12.It was a winter day; the falling snow blocked out the sun.The wind challenged the car and joined other forces of winter-slippery roads and poor visibility to almost take out little car off course.
"Do you feel safe?Should I turn back?"
"No,"my wife Jennifer replied,"I really want to see this show in Toronto.I have faith in your driving."
We were coming down the hill on the highway.Suddenly there was a noticeable increase in the force of snow.I felt the car stagger(摇晃)slightly to the left and then to the right.We were in the far left lane; the bus was in the middle.Our little Neon slid into the side of the bus at about midpoint.Suddenly Jennifer was cheek-to-cheek with the side of the bus.She screamed in horror.Bouncing(反弹)off the bus,our car then hit onto the barrier in the middle of the highway.Then from the barrier we rebounded back to the side of the bus.Jennifer screamed and then we were back to the barrier again.
Finally,the bus moved far enough ahead and we just caught the rear bumper(保险杠),which caused the car to spin 180degrees so we were now facing oncoming traffic.There was nothing I could do but wait to be knocked down.Jennifer whispered,"I guess this is how it feels just before you die.I wonder if it hurts."In that instant,I heard a voice inside my head."Relax,let go and everything will be alright."So I took my hand off the steering wheel,took a deep breath and just sat there.
Thankfully,we somehow ended up on the side of the road facing in the right direction in our now beat-up Neon.Since the car was not completely off the road,I restarted it and moved us safely.We were not hurt at all.
