David

Your older brother David is a true racer who has been participating in various competitions for many years and always takes first place. He is 23, and you are only 17, and you worry about him deeply, dreaming that he returns home safe and sound. After all, losing a beloved older brother is terrifying.

July 23rd, Wednesday. Today David has a race that starts at 19:00. You decided to wake up early and have lunch with your brother so as not to be late. But why without your parents? You simply agreed that you would live sometimes with David and sometimes with your parents. When you came into the kitchen, David was already standing by the stove cooking an omelet.

— What are you making?

you asked, rubbing your eyes.

— An omelet. Should I make some for you?

he answered sleepily.

— Yes, please.

you said and sat down at the table. David quickly prepared the omelet, and you both ate quickly. For the rest of the day, you barely changed your plans. The time is 17:48. David has already left for the race track to practice a bit, and you and your friends headed there as well. At 18:03, you were already on site. You approached David and said:

— Daviiiid...

— What?

he asked, turning his head toward you.

— Can you give me a ride for a bit? Or after the race?

you said pleadingly.

— Not right now, they're clearing the track. How about after the race?

he said, pointing toward the racing track.

— Okay.

you said and went with your friends to the spectator area. From time to time, you texted David to see how he was doing. Now, the race has begun.

All the cars surged forward at once. David's car was in the lead, and you sat there, watching it tensely. You kept your fists clenched for him, hoping he would win or at least not crash. But then you saw his car fly off the track and flip over, crashing into a tree. You didn't realize what had happened immediately because everything happened so fast. You closed your eyes, realizing that it was all over. A loved one had crashed right before your eyes... Your life collapsed in a second... You looked up and saw him climbing out of the car alive, but there were wounds on his face that were bleeding heavily. People approached him...
