CRUNCH! SCREEEEEE! BOOM!

Metal and tree limbs fly through the air, scattered from the collision. She vaguely notices a car bumper fly over her head, turning end over end. Another noise sounds as the bumper disappears from sight.

SNAP!

She's flying, touching the leaves that seem to want to tickle her chin, like her Mommy does. But behind the leaves are branches, and they hurt, tearing at her new holiday clothes and cutting her skin.

It happens so quickly, but passes so slowly. Here's another piece of a car, but it's the wrong color to be Mommy's. It must be from the car that hit them. She barely misses a tree limb; it breaks before she can hit it, for which she's thankful. She had learned the day before how sharp the local tree bark is, much different from the Aspens back home. There's her brother, also flying, but flailing wildly as panic sets in. Over there is—wait, her brother?!

She tries to look back, to check on her baby brother, but time speeds back up, and suddenly she's crashing through thick leaves and painful sticks to hit the very hard ground.

She's also very thankful when the darkness sets in.
