บท 1: 1. Truck-San for the win

Hey, how's it going? Probably way better than me seeing as how I just died. Honestly, I should have seen it coming with all web and light novels I've read over years and probably would have if I wasn't stressing about my job who would be my Attending this year. Today was the first day of my residency and I was freaking out. My problem was my fellow residents and some of the doctors. They thought I was a know it all suck up, just because I could answer any question the Attendings could ask and knew our textbooks forwards and backwards. What they didn't understand was that it was all book smarts. I didn't have any real practical experience to back it up. The reason was that I just happen to have eidetic memory, which helped me to finish up my bioengineering degree at the young age of 14.

But it's unbelievably hard to learn how to be a doctor even with my very own cheat skill. For instance, just because I could describe the function of the heart doesn't mean I could do open heart surgery, well I am a genius so I probably could but... Also, I am 18 while the others are in their 20's so the hate was real! They would do all kinds of things to sabotage me. My labs were always late, my stuff always mysteriously went missing, no one wanted to help me with patients consults, and they would always bad mouth me to the Attendings. Thank god for nurses, they at least had my back. They made sure the patients didn't sure suffer and that things didn't go too far. Which brings me back to this morning and why I was rushing. I figured that if I got to the new Attending before everybody else gave a good impression thing could be different this year.

Unfortunately, the brat on his phone ruined my plans permanently! I'll tell you it was very spooky how it all went down, kinda like I was in one of those "final destination" movies. I was walking down the street when I saw the kid beginning to cross at the corner. At first, there weren't any cars on the street which was strange in its self, given the time of day but then Truck san appeared out of nowhere like he was auditioning for the next Fast & Furious movie. I tried calling out to the kid, but he couldn't hear me over his headphones. Everybody else in the area was either frozen in shock or not paying attention, so it was up to me to try and save the kid. As I ran to catch up to him, I remember hoping that was his favorite song he was blastin cause if I didn't reach him in time that would probably be the last thing he heard. I wasn't that worried at first because I wasn't that far and I figured I had enough time to get both of us out of the way. But then the spooky stuff I mention started. This kid who wasn't ware enough to notice the 2-ton truck bearing down on him suddenly stops to pick up some money that just happens to be in the middle of the street. Meanwhile, Truck san sped up like he was late for a date. Oh, and the wind just happened to blow a wet grocery bag under my foot in the middle on my all-out sprint. I mean COME ON this was seriously overkill, all I needed now was for a black cat to appear across the street and start laughing at me. Somebody definitely wanted one or the both of us dead. Luckily for the kid, I had enough momentum to knock him out of the away but me, thanks to a damn grocery bag I got to learn what a truck grill taste like right before me and the street became one intimately.

Like I said I'm a doctor, so I knew I was a goner, there's no coming back when a third of your body is now paste. Most people in this situation would think about their loved ones and things they would miss or regret as their life flashed before my eyes. I was no different except for the fact that I really didn't have love ones, the only things I would miss are my novel, movies, and games, and I one regret is I didn't get to finish my work on Nanos. My parents didn't really understand me, nor did they have time for me either. Honestly, I think I was an accident because my parents are never home long enough to actually get together. Its always work, work and more work with them. With them being gone so much I did have the freedom to indulge in my favorite hobbies, so I got to watch a lot of movies and anime, play way too many hours of video games, and read tons of light novels and mangas. I didn't see it as lost time like they did because I didn't have any real friends, to begin with and they hardly paid attention to me anyway, so I used it to soak up time between studying. Anyway, back to my death, the kid was safe, the crowd finally got off their butts to call the EMTs. Too little too late but hey it's the thought right. Thinking about all those comics and stuff, as the lights faded my last thought on earth was "damn saving that kid would have been a lot easier if I had Psychokinesis."

Then I heard a voice say, "YOUR WISH GRANTED!!"
