After
436Please respect copyright.PENANAjtAXWgQofm
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAagDTcFU0BK
436Please respect copyright.PENANAjIoW0OmOWE
A sick feeling fills my stomach and throat, and I wonder if I'm going to throw up.436Please respect copyright.PENANAH9cbyOq4qA
436Please respect copyright.PENANAI04ga3ngBA
But then I hear it.436Please respect copyright.PENANA8tUxiYCwq9
436Please respect copyright.PENANAlhd6c5mBML
The vibration.436Please respect copyright.PENANA0jFTEtaHQR
436Please respect copyright.PENANA6RG5VARcA6
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAeTDC4a9NKN
436Please respect copyright.PENANARTcTi5cRLx
Where are you?436Please respect copyright.PENANAJKazVcDzj8
436Please respect copyright.PENANAciXenC873T
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAYapFMw1Tvr
436Please respect copyright.PENANAl1EMX2d77X
It's blood.436Please respect copyright.PENANAY43D3cGxO8
436Please respect copyright.PENANARqui7Q2HDr
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Qnv2dmR5
436Please respect copyright.PENANAqMLAwirsh0
I want to hide.436Please respect copyright.PENANA5NY80MV3IP
436Please respect copyright.PENANAmygNtNobMm
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAnuXiJ7qv8Q
436Please respect copyright.PENANArtB6dil1Vs
I shouldn't have gotten behind the wheel.436Please respect copyright.PENANAmAUSyYyVvn
436Please respect copyright.PENANAs5QKYczC3i
The droplets of blood form a trail now, that stretches along the fork in the road.436Please respect copyright.PENANAqbFs9fj8er
436Please respect copyright.PENANA7PXf2EbhDd
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAddHhLVNzt6
436Please respect copyright.PENANAGuMYF7uKZH
What if he's someone I know?436Please respect copyright.PENANA31u23rUwJR
436Please respect copyright.PENANAbKNOphkn1a
That thought fills me with dread.436Please respect copyright.PENANAphpwwfNQuU
436Please respect copyright.PENANAXpzHMljsqu
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.436Please respect copyright.PENANAXacJJsPh5k
436Please respect copyright.PENANAC1ETa7Xi8k
He's dead.436Please respect copyright.PENANAbgl6YWfT0f
436Please respect copyright.PENANAfvv7bK5Uak
I kneel down in the snow, and the cold crawls up my body, but I barely feel it.436Please respect copyright.PENANAmrjDzXDzaI
436Please respect copyright.PENANAMYSy2vBgo7
I close my eyes, and the wind howls in my ears.436Please respect copyright.PENANAkbo1cKM9Yy
436Please respect copyright.PENANAfdRKGwgTuv
It whispers killer to me.
