Crash bang, oh where is my apple?

I have always been a pretty good driver. I am safe, confident and most of the time don't suffer from road rage. This summer I had my first accident. I was driving a golf cart up towards the village at camp coming up around the side of one of the buildings I was turning right but for some reason I was looking left. As I turn the corner I turned my vision towards where I was heading only to see another golf cart coming in the opposite direction. The person who was driving this golf cart (no names will be given) was also going pretty fast but his attention was not on where he was driving but what a group of kids were getting up to. The problem was that when I looked to see where I was going it was too late.

Now when I say he was driving a golf cart it was a little more than a golf cart. This vehicle is called a Ranger and it used by the maintenance guys who need a bigger stronger vehicle than your normal golf cart. We did our best to swerve but it just wasn't meant to be. We smashed our golf carts together and sat for a second in disbelief as to what had just happened.

This will seem really incidental but I was eating an apple at the time. And what a great apple it was. We get fresh fruit delivered almost daily but finding a good apple could also be compared to finding a needle in a haystack. On this occasion I was eating that needle. It was perfect with amazing texture and taste. I had only eaten just over a quarter of it until I was involved in the accident. You may be wondering where I am going with this but I lost my apple in the crash. I have no idea where it went. After asking the other person (still remaining nameless) if he was ok and checking to make sure no one saw the crash I looked down and this apple, golden nugget, needle (whatever you want to call it) was no longer in my possession. I jumped off the cart and looked for it. I never did find it.

I never used to believe about spontaneous combustion until that moment. I guess that I should be glad that it was the apple and not myself.

But I really do miss that apple.

By the way I did write-off that golf cart and it did have to be sent back. Oops
