Car Crash

I saw a car crash on the way to school today. All these cars stopped and this other car didn't even slow down. This was on the highway, too, so it was going pretty fast. I was right next to the collision, close enough that I might have been caught by flying wreckage. The car that crashed into the other car bounced back on collision and lost the whole of it's front, but  the other one wasn't damaged at at all. It actually drove away without the driver getting out to check on things.  The other students kept walking. Nobody stopped to help the person who'd crashed. All the other cars just drove around her and kept going. One student stopped to give assistance.I stopped only long enough to see that the girl was up and talking. I'm ashamed to say I made it to class on time.

That's the kind of thing that will haunt you. It would've been worth being late for one class so I could think to myself "I'm the kind of guy who helps out in a crisis." Even when I was walking away,  I was thinking "Not worth it, man. Not worth it."
