After
379Please respect copyright.PENANAQgTnUzmSEc
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.379Please respect copyright.PENANA6yCS4t1pqt
379Please respect copyright.PENANA6W7sD5plMl
A sick feeling fills my stomach and throat, and I wonder if I'm going to throw up.379Please respect copyright.PENANA5YcWpglLQN
379Please respect copyright.PENANAUbzoQY7Gki
But then I hear it.379Please respect copyright.PENANALOivHIikPr
379Please respect copyright.PENANAkVtn26Jl1H
The vibration.379Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZCQDYtx7i
379Please respect copyright.PENANADOrjQ2AHnC
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.379Please respect copyright.PENANA33IfWiLtJl
379Please respect copyright.PENANAwXsXvP2zZD
Where are you?379Please respect copyright.PENANAIOo8PowZnu
379Please respect copyright.PENANAR2wYNFsfQu
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.379Please respect copyright.PENANAkCyFhkSIUY
379Please respect copyright.PENANAaCk4mEnZM5
It's blood.379Please respect copyright.PENANAn6SGuj6DxH
379Please respect copyright.PENANAx6Z2h36e8u
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.379Please respect copyright.PENANAq6nXJphBMQ
379Please respect copyright.PENANAUIe4rSdbdg
I want to hide.379Please respect copyright.PENANAqYvsum4EsB
379Please respect copyright.PENANAXOgFDbrK6W
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.379Please respect copyright.PENANA6QbheqQK5E
379Please respect copyright.PENANAdwXyaKzATL
I shouldn't have gotten behind the wheel.379Please respect copyright.PENANAKmboEwCWcn
379Please respect copyright.PENANAlBq8NFsoXf
The droplets of blood form a trail now, that stretches along the fork in the road.379Please respect copyright.PENANAs2sreN4E5u

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.379Please respect copyright.PENANAlqzViuN7E4
379Please respect copyright.PENANA5r88fAveiA
What if he's someone I know?379Please respect copyright.PENANArvZ1wIY7XU
379Please respect copyright.PENANAZTL68fZbIj
That thought fills me with dread.379Please respect copyright.PENANAd2hlAAlPGa
379Please respect copyright.PENANAf0DePmmN9K
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.379Please respect copyright.PENANAjKHn6YAumT
379Please respect copyright.PENANAsBCWbjbuLZ
He's dead.379Please respect copyright.PENANAFH6Xs7WBEq
379Please respect copyright.PENANA2FwfLj1l4J
I kneel down in the snow, and the cold crawls up my body, but I barely feel it.379Please respect copyright.PENANAd9dbvscLzw
379Please respect copyright.PENANAV6JrglfEbJ
I close my eyes, and the wind howls in my ears.379Please respect copyright.PENANA4lbIZZNJBH
379Please respect copyright.PENANAc3IGi2omCf
It whispers killer to me.
