September, 2008 – Piedmont County, Indiana
The Jeep was traveling down the dirt covered back road fast. The driver and passengers were laughing and loudly singing along with the song blaring on the radio. On both sides of the road were trees and along the right side was a deep ditch that was hidden by overgrown grasses and weeds. Dust was flying up into the air in the wake of the fast moving car. Suddenly, the front seat passenger screamed and pointed to the rabbit sitting in the middle of the road. The driver hit the brakes and tried to swerve to avoid the animal. Sharply turning her wheel to the left, the car fishtailed and went out of control.
There was a large stone in the middle of the road. At its highest, it only stuck up from the ground about two inches and no one had ever seen the need to remove it. They were wrong, though. It was just high enough that when the rear wheel hit it, the vehicle started to flip. It flipped over and over eight times before finally coming to a rest on its side in the ditch nearly buried in the grasses and against a large tree.
For several moments, there was silence. Then the sounds of the woods resumed. The dust settled and the bunny that started everything hopped away, unhurt.
The girls were missed within 30 minutes, but it was another two hours before they were found. They didn't have that kind of time.
Is this an interesting start? Do you want more? I'm gonna have to ask for reviews. Seriously. I'm having a helluva time with this one. It won't be updated too quickly, though. (Yup, I'm pushing it again... I hope I don't reqret it. :-) Let me know.
