Shaun threw the bag, from his shoulder, to the ground and ran all he could. Over the green fields of no man´s land. The sun shone on his back, the air felt like nothing he had ever experienced.

He felt his feet hitting the ground, by each step, slightly making the ground shake.

At his right, was nothing but water. It felt so refreshing. He felt his heart nearly jumping out of his chest, when he fell flat on his face. Everything had happened so quickly.

He felt very close to earth now. The earth felt good between his fingers. He sat up and went to look out over the ocean. Everything else seemed so far away. To get past the ocean seemed impossible to him. He felt his feet being trapped onto the ground of England.

A car had pulled up to the beach, but Shaun was lost in his thoughts. He didn´t see the woman exit the car and slowly trudge to him over the green field.

She sat down beside him and he looked up. It wasn´t really what he wanted the most, but he knew she would come at some time. None of them said anything, she just looked down at him with her motherly eyes, while he looked back at the ocean.

A little later Shaun was sitting at the passenger seat in the front of the car. His mother was trying to steer the car out of the green fields. The car jumped a lot up and down, making Shaun shake and hit the car door several times. He felt so lifeless, suddenly the door flew open and his seat belt was unbuckled. He flew out and rolled down the road.

The skin of his right arm were totally ripped off. At first he hit the ground with his hands, which broke under the tremendous power, then his head hit the ground and he was knocked out. He got several injuries, while rolling down the road. He broke a few bones in his chest and his right leg was totally crushed.

It all came to an end, when a truck of several ton crossed the road.
