I was heading home to Gurney street from the Cathedral school.I was in a hurry.Without looking I charged across the road .The buses turned right here on Albert road heading to the bus exchange. They thundered down the road before taking the corner.I can still see the shocked face and eyes of the bus driver,perched high up on his throne in the front of the blue dubble deckers bus. He stood on the brakes.
With a glance into his eyes I carried on sprinting ,home,to Gurney street.I never told anyone how my life was saved.Thank you.
