One Day Last Year
One day last year, when I was driving back to work after I'd had lunch,
I had an amazing and unforgettable experience. It must have been two
o'clock, or perhaps a quarter of an hour later - a quarter past two. It
was an incredible thing really. I was sitting there, at the steering
wheel of my new car, waiting for the lights to change, when all of a
sudden the car started to shake this way and that, rocking from side to
side, throwing me backwards and forwards, up and down. I felt as if I
was riding a bucking horse. Worse than that, some mysterious spirit or
hostile force seemed to be venting its vast fury upon the earth. And the
noise! There was a kind of deep groaning and horrible awesome grinding
which seemed to fill the air.
And then, a short while after, the whole paroxysm had stopped, just as
suddenly. Everything was calm and smooth again, quiet and peaceful once
more. I put my foot down, just a gentle pressure on the accelerator - or
the gas pedal as it's known in America - and drove off. Everything was
utterly normal once more.
So then: was this some very local and momentary earth-tremor which had
struck us, or, I asked myself, was it a supernatural visitation, some
fiery storm of diabolical wrath? Or was it, rather, merely that I'd
drunk a double vodka or two during my lunch?
ご多忙な中とは思いますが、何卒宜しくお願いします。
