If you got a weak stomach, take a few deep breaths before continuing…

The witnesses, descriptions, images, and critique regarding death that follow might shake/stir your innards a bit, but none-the-less, should be held as a prime reinforcement factor for insight, focus, and ultimately a true determination and dedication for harmonious survival and persistence in the wonderful waves of life.

About 300 kilometers into the return trip from Phuket to Bangkok, early afternoon, Wednesday, December 10,  just north of Surathani city at an intersection near Chaiya district, the Siamerican Wanderer witnessed yet another gruesome reality check.

It hadn’t been since Boxer Day 2004’s Asian Tsunami reconstruction/corpse clean up volunteering that SW saw raw mutilated human corpses live before his eyes–and even those had been well into a week long of decomposing upon exposure to his live senses.

On the last Bangkok-Phuket trip in October, there were a few freak accidents along the road certainly with some dead humans along side, likely dying and injured bodies, but then, SW and his travel-mate, Steve didn’t have it in them to be nosy enough to stick around and reconfirm tragic reality. And there have been a few other witnesses on Thai roads over the years with twitching and breathing, albeit breathing bodies lying on the road after an accident

This time, it was in broad daylight, right smack in the middle of the road, unavoidable. Today, the SW had every reason to reconfirm the reality shock of sudden death, particularly in regards to ensuring utter avoidance for his own path, considering he still had some 600 kilometers to go before the day would be through.

The accident couldn’t have happened much long before as a crowd was only rapidly starting to grow; curious pedestrians gathering to get a closer look as Rescue Volunteers and Police orderly conducted order to such chaos. The thought of raw and live death and blood greatly tickled the SW’s curiosity and he pulled over just to confirm such a shock, gathering with several dozen local onlookers, inconspicuously snapping a few vague shots on his .7 megapixel mobile cam.

This time it was a freak freight truck-motorcycle accident scene involving a young boy, and perhaps his mother, evidence pointing to presumably their motorbike crushed under the front left wheel of a 10 wheeler Dutchmill delivery truck. Considering it was just past the traffic lite intersection on Asia Hwy 41, it can be concluded that the definite perpetrator is none other than senselessness, selfishness, and the foolish acting on unreasoned rush–that and perhaps bad timing as some might say.

All that was for sure was the first one that the SW passed was a young boy, perhaps between the age of 10 and 14, lying twisted and lifeless in the middle of the highway,  his brains surely splattered on rocky tar as police calmly and professionally detoured traffic around, investigating the evidence and witnesses at the live tragic crime scene, as rescue volunteers–identified by the yellow Chinese characters on blue work shirts–awaited the Police orders to finally remove the gruesome limbs and guts from broad daylight public view and into their volunteer ambulance truck.

A few meters ahead of the young victim was the second corpse, guessed to be an older female with long curly hair–brain and guts spilling out everywhere in a puddle of blood just the same as her? junior. Surely, not an ounce of breath lounged in either of the two by the time SW arrived on scene.

A few meters ahead of the two corpses was the Dutch Mill Truck with twisted moped metal under its wheels. Chances are whoever was driving the druck certainly survived and had long fled the scene as an after-shock reflex.

Who’s to lay fault is pointless now, for it could have been either if not both. Death will come to all, either unnaturally or naturally, bottom line.

As it happens everyday on every corner of the earth, life was snatched away in a flash, and it will continue to happen so.

So then, the point seems clear and simple: do everything in one’s will to allow death to be a natural occurrence, at least that’s what the author thinks. You?
