Chapter Text
The tires screeched as she took the curve laughing.
“Slow down, please,” her boyfriend's voice rose in fear. He gripped the ‘oh shit’ handle of the red sedan.
The windows were down and the wind was blowing through her blonde strands of her ponytail.
“We are good. I’ve got great reflexes,” she chided him.
The woods whipped by them as they made their way home.
“Maybe I can drive instead,” he countered.
They both got their driver’s license a few months prior.
“Next time,” she started to slow down but not much.
“Please, it's the dead man's corner coming up,” he called out.
It was a part of the road that had an almost ninety degree curve and one couldn’t see what was coming in the other direction.
“Fine, even though we are the only ones on the road,” she pressed the brakes to take the corner closer to 30 than 60.
They heard the screeching of tires as a black sedan came straight at them as they were taking the corner.
Both teens screamed.
The oncoming vehicle raced right into the driver's side between the door and tire.
Metal crunched.
Glass shattered.
They were tossed like rag dolls. Their only saving grace was their seatbelts— preventing them from being flung out.
The guardrail crumpled like paper.
Their car was violently shoved off the road and tumbled down the embankment.
The other vehicle rear end was sticking up in the air halfway off the steep hill.
The girl saw the lifeless body of the other driver being flung out the windshield as they tumbled down forever.
Searing pain engulfed her before blackness took over.
