When I was 18 ” Twilight Zone- The Movie” came out.
Can’t say I LOVED it but Dan Aykroyd ( he had the part as the ambulence driver ) was a favorite actor of mine so I enjoyed it- but what I really liked was the last line he had in the movie- which you can see here…in a minute.
This little snapshot of my life takes place a couple of weeks after I saw the movie.
My friend and I were stopped at a red light in his car when a drunk driver rear ended our car and my friend and I both ended up in the same ambulance together.
It was not a good scene…there was blood there was fear and both of us thought the woman in the car that hit us was dead because we never saw them take her out of her car.
We never saw another ambulence show up and we never heard anyone call for one.
And I felt like I was drowning on dry land.
The Paramedics told me I was having trouble breathing because my ribs were probably cracked
My friend is scared out of his mind and going through his own Hell because for some reason he couldn’t see out of his right eye (to this day he still can’t see out of that eye and they never found out why).
And if this wasn’t enough my ears are ringing so bad I’m about ready to have a serious hissy fit when the ambulance driver turns around to reassure me it’s going to be okay…. and he looks just like Dan Aykroyd.
Swear to God…
Here’s the part where you have to watch the clip to the end and you’ll hear what I said and you’ll see what I saw and you can go ahead and laugh.
My One-Eyed Friend and I do…
but there’s an Ambulance driver out there somewhere who probably talks about that time this kid turned to him with blood running from her ears and said…” Hey Man…-“
go ahead, hit the arrow and find out.
ANITA'S OWL CREEK BRIDGE 
You just have the best stories. I wish I could have seen that guy’s expression when you came out with that gem. I mean, he had to be creeped out.

Considering he almost ran off the road…yeah, I think he was a little creeped out.
Maybe a lot.
Geeze..I hope so.

Wandering around the corridors of your mind is always such a blast A.M. It sure works in a fascinating way. I can see I am going to be here for many hours.

Hi Heather,
Wow, that’s exactly what my Shrink says to!
🙂 Hugs to you, I’m glad you’re taking a look around the Bridge you helped to build.

That’s creepy. That’s one of the strangest coincidences I’ve ever heard. I mean, what are the odds.
Too bad there are no pictures of this mystery driver, because I’m curious to see how much he looks like Aykroyd.
For the record, the show was just worlds better than that movie.

Of course the show is better then the movies.
And if something freaky or odd is happening, I’m there.
It’s a fact of my life.
Which is cool.
