At age 27 George had a major accident. He was driving down an alley in a speed of 80mph. His stereo was playing a loud music by a veteran rock band. He was extremely contented that day coz his band was selected for major competitions in London. Through his early childhood, George has built a strange and strong ardor for heavy music and Cradle of Filth was his idol. He could sing and play almost all of the major record by that band and George could sing as many as a couple of hundred songs by Cradle of Filth. Danny Filth was his role model and it was due to this influence, George made his appearance and personality relatively alike to Danny.
It was a Saturday evening of 2005; George was meeting his band mates to extend the good news. A bottle of whiskey was by his seat and he thought of celebrating it. At around 10, Sid his drummer called him to say hi. Hi picked up his cell phone and said that something very urgent has come up and they need to meet in a pub. George thought to keep it a surprise until they meet. He hanged up the phone and screamed on top of his lungs; hell yeah. He was grunting and squiding in his car as Danny would often do on stage.
After driving a couple of miles down to an alley on a roundabout, he took a major turn on his wheels hardly realizing what was coming on the road. An elderly man was trying to cross the road and before he could realize, he smashed the old man. The old men flew like 15 feet on the air and stroke the ground and his ear piece felt on George’s car. George furiously put on the brakes and suddenly the car started to somersault until it came to a complete halt after four 360 turns laying him unconscious on the nearby pavement and him being totally unconscious. His car was some 20m far from where he came to rest. He lost his consciousness as darkness gradually hit his eyes.
George opened his eyes in a hospital after 20 days. He could see his parents in front of him. He could feel the cold expression of pain on their faces. He could even see that his band members were on the same room. As soon as he opened his eyes, a slight glimpse of joy and relief encountered their face. He had a fractured skull. His three ribs were broken and his leg was plastered and hanged as he broke his knee bones too. The doctors suggest his parents not to disturb him furthermore and let him rest for a couple of weeks. He was in isolation for almost a couple of months.
After coping with the doctors and lots of therapy, George was discharged from the hospital as he could walk 3 months hence. The police caught some punks who pushed the old man on the road and met an accident with George’s car. George was clean. George removed his protective head mask 4 months after he was recovered. He could hardly play his guitar and at the end; he realized that the ear piece was dropped in his car and he couldn’t hear a thing. He was deaf with both his ears.
These days, George often goes to the sea bay trying to figure out what it all meant. The old man gifted him his ear piece before he died. George is listening to the sound of silence.
