After
391Please respect copyright.PENANAzIIBcaB4qe
My hands shake as I search for my phone. It's stuck somewhere in my broken car, but I need to find it. I need to call someone.391Please respect copyright.PENANAeZNi5hJrwi
391Please respect copyright.PENANAmkGi4woMue
A sick feeling fills my stomach and throat, and I wonder if I'm going to throw up.391Please respect copyright.PENANAE8WqX8qrhQ
391Please respect copyright.PENANAFN5n26krw7
But then I hear it.391Please respect copyright.PENANAzmTKdSfEcP
391Please respect copyright.PENANAiIbG9rSdId
The vibration.391Please respect copyright.PENANAQZTuVCZy6f
391Please respect copyright.PENANA4CdJg2t9J0
The screen lights up, and I see that my phone is on the floor on the passenger side. I grab it and look at the incoming text from Dakota.391Please respect copyright.PENANAA1E2exETrr
391Please respect copyright.PENANABY90LUNEmF
Where are you?391Please respect copyright.PENANApVs0OUU5db
391Please respect copyright.PENANA29Er04KZCz
My body aches as I pull myself out of the wreckage, then look around. The road is empty, except for the snow and the red droplets.391Please respect copyright.PENANAFscS9V2nbV
391Please respect copyright.PENANACS2jS5CUod
It's blood.391Please respect copyright.PENANAPWBpfXpBBq
391Please respect copyright.PENANAcdWdMrRQVn
I use my phone as a flashlight and start to walk, snow crunching under my boots. It's the only sound. The night is still, even the animals are quiet. They all heard the crash, and hid.391Please respect copyright.PENANAReI7HdDGYq
391Please respect copyright.PENANAaWUNt4c1k8
I want to hide.391Please respect copyright.PENANAaR9EcBeRma
391Please respect copyright.PENANAviSRvbe3ZS
I look at my phone, at the unanswered text, and my eyes fill with tears. I can't tell her what happened. She knew I left after I had a few beers.391Please respect copyright.PENANAsywu3j1XOG
391Please respect copyright.PENANAb2RxbEzXiK
I shouldn't have gotten behind the wheel.391Please respect copyright.PENANAu7YEOggQoU
391Please respect copyright.PENANAODCIOs2Uox
The droplets of blood form a trail now, that stretches along the fork in the road.391Please respect copyright.PENANAJiozu5LG1C

I go left, and then I see him. He's face down in the snow, his body twisted, bloody, and bruised. He's wearing a big jacket, and I can't see his face.391Please respect copyright.PENANAjWiAVW3zjN
391Please respect copyright.PENANASc0P2kmljf
What if he's someone I know?391Please respect copyright.PENANAWPNMypFF7N
391Please respect copyright.PENANAr3kg8XoWYw
That thought fills me with dread.391Please respect copyright.PENANApkVHhfpO0s
391Please respect copyright.PENANArARdZ9ojTt
He isn't moving, and I know why. The impact of the front of the car, his body slamming against the windshield, that's why.391Please respect copyright.PENANARaToEDaUQ2
391Please respect copyright.PENANAoRN15HD6Yr
He's dead.391Please respect copyright.PENANAGo04HwIVZt
391Please respect copyright.PENANAoJOgTHhcBd
I kneel down in the snow, and the cold crawls up my body, but I barely feel it.391Please respect copyright.PENANAmRQST1INQ8
391Please respect copyright.PENANAJArAwUw7Bi
I close my eyes, and the wind howls in my ears.391Please respect copyright.PENANA6Kv7I8YisI
391Please respect copyright.PENANA4PZly6WTTg
It whispers killer to me.
