After
372Please respect copyright.PENANAV2GglfcGJV
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAqtaD5ftpb6
372Please respect copyright.PENANA0q0LuSUKjC
A sick feeling fills my stomach and throat, and I wonder if I'm going to throw up.372Please respect copyright.PENANASNXvTxMjXR
372Please respect copyright.PENANAMGX6zfwxPE
But then I hear it.372Please respect copyright.PENANAFsuBY8VXmK
372Please respect copyright.PENANAWBFFMgkAmU
The vibration.372Please respect copyright.PENANAAXoMWUj5sp
372Please respect copyright.PENANAiMi2vogRjY
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANArpOM4ZMK9N
372Please respect copyright.PENANA5IbY35FCfJ
Where are you?372Please respect copyright.PENANARPdSOtFiu2
372Please respect copyright.PENANAK3L7bmPEZa
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAz5B9Xi1aha
372Please respect copyright.PENANAje4pUMTSev
It's blood.372Please respect copyright.PENANA8Yu1YepUGR
372Please respect copyright.PENANAlsHTi4iFgg
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANALbJGmp0aMG
372Please respect copyright.PENANAdfPWOLr913
I want to hide.372Please respect copyright.PENANA0HktxUfSXF
372Please respect copyright.PENANA9qtuDjPIfA
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAoVnoihBb0F
372Please respect copyright.PENANABm4kGPQxNN
I shouldn't have gotten behind the wheel.372Please respect copyright.PENANA884jm75dCE
372Please respect copyright.PENANAP9GceQaHlp
The droplets of blood form a trail now, that stretches along the fork in the road.372Please respect copyright.PENANAsbVL784jHZ
372Please respect copyright.PENANALSsiVNT0D5
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAGNGrG7AAne
372Please respect copyright.PENANA1JzCIDkTal
What if he's someone I know?372Please respect copyright.PENANAXwphAbhLwZ
372Please respect copyright.PENANAbIjWuAyoj4
That thought fills me with dread.372Please respect copyright.PENANAjDHE4HKa9N
372Please respect copyright.PENANANyXqgxrcCf
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.372Please respect copyright.PENANAXFV08lZIPe
372Please respect copyright.PENANAiLkkuLh2rY
He's dead.372Please respect copyright.PENANA3RYTdhRhzG
372Please respect copyright.PENANAGF0jbExuAo
I kneel down in the snow, and the cold crawls up my body, but I barely feel it.372Please respect copyright.PENANAV5ArYvfqQW
372Please respect copyright.PENANAe9cfJpm6QX
I close my eyes, and the wind howls in my ears.372Please respect copyright.PENANAXtrfszc9pM
372Please respect copyright.PENANAyktvTkkmR4
It whispers killer to me.
