By the Road side

I was walking down the road, aimlessly searching for thoughts that I can't find. What was I thinking? I thought to myself.
People were looking at me like I was lost. Indeed I was lost in thought. " excuse me ma'm are u looking for something?" The unknown voice asked me. I looked at her and shamefully smiled and said " no , thanks I am okay."
I haven't  heard such  an amazing voice in a while. I thought to myself " who could this be?" I continued walking aimlessly on the road. The sounds of cars made me realise that I was close to the express. I looked up and behold I saw flit of cars with different colours.
I widened my eyes to behold the finest cars. But the speed of the cars were faster than my sight. I tried catching a quick look at them , but the more I stood at the road side, the more I forgot that it's impossible to have a closer look at the cars.
Unfortunately for me, I couldn't phantom what my eyes saw. I thought it was a dream. I couldn't open my eyes. My eyes were shut like someone who saw a ghost. I think I saw a ghost or even worse than seeing a ghost.
I was on the road side,with my camera, trying to catch a quick look at the cars , nature and people , maybe take some shots. A man in a red Hilux car, honked at me, I turned back; of course he was given me signal that he wants to trafficate .
I was carried away by the sight of the car, how beautiful and cool it looked. Before I could turn my face towards the road, I saw something my eyes hasn't seen for a while.
I heard a loud scream that caught my attention.A dead body, lying helplessly on the ground in a pool of blood  , the head out and crushed. Many questions were on my mind. "Just a minute ago and this happened; how did it happen"? I asked myself. I turned to look at the other side of the road. I couldn't open my eyes until it was carried away.
My journey to the road side wasn't something I could boldly say to anyone. I was shocked by what I saw. The sight of a dead body terrified me. I don't think I would journey again to the road side. The road side that's nameless.
