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.374Please respect copyright.PENANADe4xYcnViC
374Please respect copyright.PENANAnKYhgQc2t8
A sick feeling fills my stomach and throat, and I wonder if I'm going to throw up.374Please respect copyright.PENANAPBstmHDfXU
374Please respect copyright.PENANA1pfOEDtE5i
But then I hear it.374Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZYfnm6ulf
374Please respect copyright.PENANAqntmsdyq6h
The vibration.374Please respect copyright.PENANA7RMiT49Mcq
374Please respect copyright.PENANA1f6wfflQTH
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.374Please respect copyright.PENANA97FYsKcF8l
374Please respect copyright.PENANA2iRgDCtbxV
Where are you?374Please respect copyright.PENANAeqTOnaf1z4
374Please respect copyright.PENANA3egPf3RJsl
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.374Please respect copyright.PENANAnbKeXPxlyO
374Please respect copyright.PENANALufMn6bL0S
It's blood.374Please respect copyright.PENANATI6cWNlaSX
374Please respect copyright.PENANAgbEntlrtAK
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.374Please respect copyright.PENANAEmoGY9cLfY
374Please respect copyright.PENANALvBo0nBTq6
I want to hide.374Please respect copyright.PENANAlCYLmli3if
374Please respect copyright.PENANAHSxvDVGTbL
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.374Please respect copyright.PENANALiUlGtVaec
374Please respect copyright.PENANAEj1J0T6Mz5
I shouldn't have gotten behind the wheel.374Please respect copyright.PENANAm9hXD6ASyO
374Please respect copyright.PENANAU0bpBLnloP
The droplets of blood form a trail now, that stretches along the fork in the road.374Please respect copyright.PENANAYFmyYz53aW

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.374Please respect copyright.PENANABX3oFAUvD2
374Please respect copyright.PENANASWabxu6Vuc
What if he's someone I know?374Please respect copyright.PENANAb9mwJQfoA5
374Please respect copyright.PENANAhue0Ro8V5F
That thought fills me with dread.374Please respect copyright.PENANArqwu3gIUgF
374Please respect copyright.PENANAfVPbQdUyaO
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.374Please respect copyright.PENANAcDu8aBzVYW
374Please respect copyright.PENANApMTn98twPZ
He's dead.374Please respect copyright.PENANAgc0ndVnYWy
374Please respect copyright.PENANAuD6cXSdLuL
I kneel down in the snow, and the cold crawls up my body, but I barely feel it.374Please respect copyright.PENANA1UvnSNL9xt
374Please respect copyright.PENANADjrSgMVJde
I close my eyes, and the wind howls in my ears.374Please respect copyright.PENANAz81XGFdh9o
374Please respect copyright.PENANAdfBM8XuOKb
It whispers killer to me.
