How It All Started

I had just come to a complete stop at a stop sign while thinking about my next bodybuilding competition and what the future might bring, when all of a sudden, boom! I was pushed forward and a sharp pain shot through my neck and back. The back glass of my new mini copper showered me like rain. I couldn't move my arms or legs. 

The distracted truck driver that hit me didn’t even graze the brake pedal with his foot before plowing into me.
