I walked outside to a horrendous sight… The lot was mostly devoid of parked cars. In the center of the lot sat a massive garbage truck. The door was open and the driver was pushing a wide broom from the front of his vehicle outward towards the dumpster collecting a massive amount of glass. The glass seemed to have come from the car between his truck and the receptacle… It was a little black Acura… It was smashed almost beyond recognition… It was my car. Totalled. Demolished.
An elderly neighbor, who was standing outside watching, approached me and patted my shoulder consolingly. Across the way, many youths laughed and hopped about, enjoying the devastation.
The truck driver finished cleaning the glass and hopped back into his vehicle; I dashed up to him and shouted, “What did you do?!” He was very upset and apologetic. At one point, he cried as he told me how sorry he was, it was an accident. I remember brushing my fingertips in his hairy arm as he sobbed into my shoulder. I told him it was OK and everything would come together in the end. Don’t worry. He gave me his insurance card and told me to keep it. When I asked for his personal information, he pulled out a road atlas and upon a tab which stuck from it, he scratched his home/cell/work phone numbers.
As he drove off, the youths set up folding lawn chairs where the truck had been. They laughed and chatted and pointed as I walked around my totalled Acura. I wondered what my husband would say. I wondered what trouble the insurance company would start. I wondered if I could have a rental delivered soon.
Another neighbor came out of my building and handed me a long orange extention cord. “Here,” he said, “you’ll need this.” I thanked him and he departed. The youths began running about the now-full lot, shouting and laughing still. My car still sat there, crumbled in front of a garbage dumpster.
I shuffled back indoors.
