My brother and I continued to sprint through the dark‚ damp streets. Puddles splashed under our feet making eerie echoes. We passed closed shops and empty parking lots. It seemed like I wouldn’t even have nightmares as creepy as what I was walking through. It was darker than usual. A unearthly feeling was in the air.

Tragic Accident It is amazing how many things we take for granted. We make plans for the day‚ and don’t think twice about how those plans can be taken away in the blink of an eye.

I woke this morning just like every morning sprawled out on my old mattress on the floor. As I began to wake to what seemed like an ordinary hot summer day. As I was getting changed there was a loud urgent bang on the door of the little tin hut at the edge of the lake I called home.

I finished getting changed and opened to door to meet them. “Please I need your help!” a distressed teenager pleaded

“Vroom‚ Vroom‚ Vroom!” All I could hear was the sound of the car engine. I had been awakened at 5:30 a.m. thinking I was standing on the center of a highway‚ but really it was the fully loaded car.
