I was a victim of a multiple car pile-up. Fortunately, my parents survived. Unfortunately, It seemed that I wasn't going to make it. I managed to survive the trip to a hospital, at least.
---------------------
"Let me just... say that... I'm sorry I... let you down."
"There's nothing to be sorry about. These things happen." My mother said, soothingly.
I'll say.
"Still, I... wish I could- could've been a bet-better son."

I put my good hand to my head.
"Headache?" my father queried.
"No. Feel light-headed." I told him.
"You never liked heights anyway." my mother joked. "You weren't afraid as such, but still..."
"True." I said, nodding.
{Skills: Cat's Grace and Monkey Climber - acquired (Cat's Grace will evolve into Divine Balance and Monkey Climber will evolve into Spider Climber). Any height related fears removed. Also, amphibious form - acquired. As a bonus, due to cause of death, next form will be tougher and more hardy.(1)}
I shook my head slightly.
"Need something to help you sleep?" my father asked.
I waved with my good hand. "You know I c-c-can't stand the taste of al-cohol."
{Skill: Doin' Fine - Acquired. Sleep effectiveness doubled}
"And he inherited my genes, 'Mister Teflon'(2)." mom said, teasing my father.
{Alcohol tolerance boosted. Skill: Elemental Immunity - acquired. Also, recovery speed enhanced.}
"Qui-et." I said, wincing.

"You should rest." Mom said.
"Just In case - Good-bye."
And we hugged.

Ten minutes after, I heard one last thing.

And then... I died.
