What Could Have Happened
It was less then a second maybe half a second but it changed everything. I saw it coming but I couldn't tell anyone because of my inability to speak, all I could do was scream. That's all I had time to do before it happened. We went flying across the road and flipped and the car landed on its roof. The car burst into flames. I knew I had to do something quickly otherwise my whole family would burn to death. I was already seriously burned and needed to get everyone out. I only had time to save my little brother and myself before my older brother pulled me out of the car before it exploded before our very eyes. Both our parents were in that car. Tonight was supposed to be a happy night. We were going out to eat because my father had recently returned from the war in Iraq. We were all supposed to be happy, but instead I saw the truck coming. Both my parents were killed that night because I couldn't say anything. I tried to stay strong for my little brother and sister but I just couldn't. The more I cried the more lightheaded I got. I felt myself fall to the cold icy ground. The only heat coming from the remains of the car I had been in less then thirty seconds ago.
