After

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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeQkDGjpKV
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VRSXVg1di
A sick feeling fills my stomach and throat, and I wonder if I'm going to throw up.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsPde3mO43
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx3YjIeG8z
But then I hear it.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmmGQl2WZO
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaVHmNBJGp
The vibration.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iM3vW7U7z
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6ZGd3MbJl
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghy6sxktlz
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9TRwp0YoR
Where are you?381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqBYNRquUY
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4gDZi17zz
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4CJTetFgU
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ7PXxrQiC
It's blood.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMxMfWYBSA
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3kKzsRLh2
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJP3bifCDT
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaIjZ33hvy
I want to hide.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarD8acYG0m
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFh0opp5sT
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGren5Tp1oH
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWq3TSuqHI
I shouldn't have gotten behind the wheel.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjmCsiU6Jd
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaYYfVqTZL
The droplets of blood form a trail now, that stretches along the fork in the road.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk9JlBSISH

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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpPVA5Brfs
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1SbWpMKdS
What if he's someone I know?381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbduTI6VWC3
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwQqhKo4m8
That thought fills me with dread.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T34jslPT5
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ1dl0D9vj
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.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4ULhZvHMf
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6w73y0O15
He's dead.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5UAAnzxpr
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJjdJp9XT5
I kneel down in the snow, and the cold crawls up my body, but I barely feel it.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyvLZvCR7y
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cYKjZYMgi
I close my eyes, and the wind howls in my ears.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEV2a6Oqu4i
381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5wMO5hpkx
It whispers killer to me.
