Greetings, my name is: Josè, I am 44 years old and I am originally from a small city in Venezuela, called Cumanà. I come to tell you a little story of what has been my life, I hope you like it.
It all started in March, I was getting ready to go out to share with some friends, that was on March 3rd, I woke up very early, around 4 in the morning, as a strange thing. I usually get up around 6 am, I felt that my body was telling me something, but I didn't pay much attention to it, I proceeded to take a bath, then I finished getting dressed and had breakfast, I went to my friend Luis' house.
After 10 minutes driving I arrived at her house, I got out of the car and started to walk to the door, I knocked about 5 times and they didn't open the door, I thought they didn't hear me because the music was a little loud, I knocked a couple more times and just when I was thinking of leaving, the door opened and invited me in, when I was already inside the house and I was going to get a drink, I could see a very beautiful woman and I felt that my reputation as a womanizer had gone down the sinkhole and that I had been trapped in a cage for love, because I was in love.
For several minutes I was paralyzed watching that woman who with her presence illuminated the whole room, my friend Luis who was near me, realizes and approaches me and tells me. "Hey Jose, I noticed that you were paralyzed when you saw her, do you want me to introduce her to you? Well, I answered him. "Do you really know her or did one of your other friends invite her, of course I want to." He smiled back. "I know her very well and it was me who invited her." I tell him. "What are we waiting for, let's go introduce her to me, I'm dying to meet her" We proceeded to walk towards that beautiful woman who managed to do what many women had not been able to do, make me fall in love completely. Once we were in front of her, my friend Luis said to her. "Cousin, I want you to meet a very good friend." She smiled and said to me. "Hello, you are kind of nervous, my name is Marian, a pleasure." I tell her. "Hello, my name is: Jose and how not to be nervous, being in front of a beautiful woman and the pleasure is all mine."
We were talking until the sharing was over, all of us who were in Luis' house left, I started to walk to my car, I got in and went home, under the effect of alcohol, when I had been driving home for 5 minutes, I lost control and the car started to turn over, until it hit a tree, thank God, no one was hurt, only me, when 1 minute after the accident, I lost consciousness.
My friend tells me, that he proceeded with his cousin (Marian), to go out to my house to invite me to the beach, when he was on his way he could see that there was an ambulance and he stopped, when he started to slow down to see which car was the one that had the accident and when he saw that it was my car, he stopped and ran to ask where they were taking me and told him that he knew me, once he found out where they were taking me, he got in his car and went to Marian.
Several days after the accident, I was discharged, but I could not walk for a period of several months, I felt that my life was falling down a Sinkhole and then I went into a depression, with the help of my friend Luis and Marian, In a period of 4 months I managed to get out of the depreciation in which I was stuck. 1 year after going to recovery, I was able to regain mobility in my legs and walk again, then I married Marian.
The message of my story is that we should not drive drunk, we have to be responsible when we drive. And if we have a friend under depreciation, we should help him by going with him to the psychologist, so that he feels that he is not alone and that he has a helping hand that will help him at all times.
Nota: This story is fiction, everything is taken from my mind. It has nothing to do with reality.
@pjpavan I like your story, regarding the message. I think that no one should drive under the influence of alcohol and no one should play with other people's feelings.
@centauro34, Thank you very much for your comment
Thank you for sharing your story with The Ink Well. It is never a good idea to drink and drive. Very lucky for Jose that his friends were in the right place at the right time to help him.
Just a note to assist you in your writing journey. Good fiction usually has a conflict/ resolution format, that’s what makes it interesting. If you want to know more it’s a good idea to read @janyna ‘ s writing tips, which you can find at the links below.

@jane1289 Greetings, I regret the way I had to do so that the protagonist of my story had to learn the lesson, like him, there are people who learn it in a worse way, and it is unfortunate.
Muy interesante tu historia continua así.
