I was involved in a head on collision with a truck this morning.

I was asleep and about 6:30am, I awoke by a hard thump on my head and my right eye was covered in chain. I didn’t know what the hell hit me and trying to get out from it, I thought we had one hell of an earthquake and when I became fully conscience. I saw it was my Power Wagon diecast metal model that I inherited from my father lying by the side of the pillow. I had some hellacious leg cramps last night. I get them sometimes and it must have caused the power wagon to inch forward and then fall on my head when I moved just enough at that time of the morning.

The offending model…
Guido was nonplussed and unhurt but it scared the shit out of her.
