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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3LeAOIr4v

A sick feeling fills my stomach and throat, and I wonder if I'm going to throw up.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BTAiGZExN
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRpSwkmX7B
But then I hear it.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclNUgGJCzn
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO6F3mpk1v
The vibration.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX91Sqdu9v
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ3cdp7GZ1
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaumpaZGdYf

Where are you?447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYImCNTpbG

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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NpCf6Je9q
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XRBsvDZUz
It's blood.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lWNg7mNmu

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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwggNx0dDS
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OrigsFNfL
I want to hide.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKWtCR8zba
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkQNFxS8NW
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kE15r64NV
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0YujA9xpJ
I shouldn't have gotten behind the wheel.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpQJhreaF9
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dWxuWF8Zr
The droplets of blood form a trail now, that stretches along the fork in the road.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrICe4NzIC8

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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaURqThNO6Y
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7EF1Pww40
What if he's someone I know?447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkKZexWPIo
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp1N23hKox
That thought fills me with dread.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofeGHEQKMy
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ieUpNHBnb
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.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9c5DYqItB
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo6OhhMvrh
He's dead.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhkc5bRghX
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4AxJmtK01
I kneel down in the snow, and the cold crawls up my body, but I barely feel it.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8H86Vgmzx
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdhXsqr2ni
I close my eyes, and the wind howls in my ears.447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfZUqR3eKf
447Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjqWaH8a49
It whispers killer to me.
