Susan stepped out of her uncle's car and looked around at the busy airport scenery for a bit before ducking back into the car to retrieve her dark green denim backpack. She had just gotten a job as a forensic scientist in New York, and was excited to get started.

Her uncle got out of the car and walked around to the back to open the trunk as Susan slung her backpack over her shoulder and shut her door. She joined her uncle at the back of the car as he unloaded Susan's luggage.

"Are you going to be alright out in New York?" Susan's uncle asked her.

"For the last time Uncle; I'll be fine!" Susan sighed and laughed a bit.

"Yeah, but I'm just worried that-"

"That I'll be overwhelmed by the chaos of the city and I won't be able to handle it, blah blah blah. I've lived in Seattle for most of my life. I'm pretty sure I can handle New York."

"I know, Suzy, but you need to remember that New York is much bigger than Seattle; and you're just so tiny. Who knows what kind of people live out there who would try to take advantage of you?"

"Uncle, you worry too much." Susan smirked and picked up her luggage. "I'm not a little girl anymore; I'm twenty three. I'll be just fine."

Susan walked towards the airport entrance.

"Be careful Suzy!" Susan's Uncle called.

"Okay!" Susan called back.

"Call if you need anything mailed to you!"

"Bye, Uncle!" Susan called back before disappearing into the airport.

Susan stepped out of the cab, got her bags, and paid the driver. She looked over the large apartment structure in front of her. It wasn't anything special. Though it was dark out now, she could see that it was just an old brick building that had large patches of light and probably newer brick; a sign that the building was probably built a long time ago and had been renovated several times over the years.

Surprisingly, the apartment building wasn't squished in between the two buildings on either side of it. They were separated by an alleyway on each side; one with an "IN" sign and one with an "OUT" sign. Susan assumed that they probably lead into a parking lot or parking structure of some sort.

Susan took a deep breath. This is her new home.

After she was given the key to her apartment, Susan went straight to her apartment number.

She opened the door and walk in, flicking on the light switch as she closed and locked the door behind her. The dark apartment was suddenly bathed in light. It wasn't much. There was a small kitchen in the corner with a refrigerator and a stove. Off to the other side of the room there was a door that lead to a tiny bedroom with a closet and a door to a bathroom in the corner. There wasn't any other furniture or appliances in the apartment besides the stove, refrigerator, sink, shower, and toilet. Susan didn't mind. She'd buy furniture later. Right now, all she wanted to do was sleep.

Susan rolled out the futon that was stuffed inside her suitcase and set a small pillow and her quilt on top. She prepared herself for bed, grabbed a book from her backpack, and snuggled under her quilt. Just a few pages into her book, she began to nod, and a few moments later, she fell asleep.

A red car was driving down the road, a family of three inside; a man driving, a woman in the passenger seat, and a little girl who couldn't be any more than two years old sitting in the back. They were laughing; the little girl was laughing the loudest.

Susan thought the little girl was very cute; she had long straight blonde hair worn in pigtails and brilliant blue eyes. The family looked so happy. Susan could see them…Susan could hear them…wait…who are these people?

The mother turned around and smiled at her daughter. She looked familiar. Susan had seen her before…but where? Wait! This woman…she looked like Susan's mother! This was Susan's mother…and the man was Susan's father! That means this little girl was…she was Susan!

Suddenly Susan's father yelled something that Susan couldn't hear. Susan's mother looked shocked and turned around. There was a truck! A semi-truck was swerving all across the road, and it was heading straight for their car! Susan's mother screamed and Susan's father tried to get out of its way. But it was moving too fast.

There was the sound of breaking glass and crunching metal. The little red car began to roll. There was screaming and yelling and little Susan was crying.

Suddenly everything stopped…there was no sound. Then everything faded out to black. Susan could hear a loud noise…a siren? No. That's not a siren.

What is it?
