The Accident I Witnessed **
I was walking home from school one afternoon when I saw a car speeding down the street. It was going way too fast, and I knew something bad was going to happen. Sure enough, the car swerved to avoid a pedestrian and crashed into a parked car. The impact was loud, and I could hear the screech of tires and the shattering of glass. I immediately ran to the scene, my heart pounding in my chest. "Are you okay?" I asked the driver, who was still sitting in the car, dazed and confused. "I'm fine," he mumbled, "but I think I hit someone." I looked around and saw a woman lying on the sidewalk, her face pale and her eyes closed. "Call an ambulance!" I shouted, my voice trembling. A few other people had gathered around, and someone quickly dialed 911. As we waited for the ambulance to arrive, I couldn't help but feel a sense of shock and disbelief. I had never witnessed anything like this before. Tenses: * Past Tense: The story is told in the past tense, as it describes an event that happened in the past. For example, "I was walking home," "It was going too fast," "The car swerved," "I ran to the scene," "I asked the driver," "He mumbled," "I looked around," "I shouted," "We waited." * Present Tense:** The present tense is used in the last sentence to describe the feeling of shock and disbelief, which is still present in the narrator's mind. For example, "I couldn't help but feel a sense of shock and disbelief."
