1. He Died For You, Will You Die For Him?
November 3rd was the day I was supposed to go to Keene with my friends to watch our high school soccer team play. Of course I couldn't go, because I forgot to take work off that day, and my boss really needed me to come in. I told Kyle and Tim that I couldn't go and watch the game with them. I really wanted to go, but most of all I wanted to ride in Kyle's 88" SAAB 900 Turbo SPG. It was his pride and joy; he had just put $4,000 into his jet rocket engine and another $1,500 in accessories. Kyle always told me that his car would be the death of him.
I went off to work as Kyle and his brother Tim went off to the soccer game. All day I was thinking about how much I really wanted to go with them. All I wanted was to just have a great weekend. Well, I thought to myself, at least I"m hanging out with them when I get off work. It was about 5:15pm when I started home from work. Kyle told me to give him a call around six or seven because the game was ending around five. I was just waiting in my room, wasting time, until I saw lights in my driveway. I looked outside to see whose blinding lights those were beaming in my bedroom window. It was the Amherst Police Department. They asked if they could come in and talk to me for a bit. Of course I let them in because I was curious about what they had to say to me. I thought they were here to collect all those fast food carpets I stole from McDonalds and Dominos. I was surprised though when they asked me if I knew Kyle and Tim Cristman. My heart just dropped to the floor. Quickly I said, "Yes." Then they finally told me that Kyle lost control of his SAAB on Route 101, and went head on into a Yukon Denali, a car that is ten times the size of his puny SAAB. "Are they all right?" I asked. The cop looked me straight in the eyes and said, "I"m sorry, Matt, they died in that horrible crash." .
I was supposed to be there with them; maybe they wouldn't have crashed if I were in the car.
