Chapter 3 One of Death
"Fucking go Morgan," Veronica yelled.
Beth's screams echoed through the car. The tractor trailor truck tried to slow down but if nothing happened the impact would be inevitable.
Morgan's eyes looked around but almost out of instinct she slammed down on the gas and they burst into the driveway of the gas station parking lot pulling up to a pump.
"What the fuck are you doing," Beth asked.
Morgan looked out her window frightened. A smoking man stood at the car opposite of them.
"Morgan what's your problem," Veronica asked.
Morgan looked at the clock. Five fifty seven.
"There's still time. We have to get out of here or else we'll all die," Morgan yelled.
"What? Morgan what's your problem," Pete asked.
Morgan got out of the car and ran through the lot to the tour bus banging on the windows that were opened.
"There's going to be an explosion! We're all going to die if we don't get out of here now! This isn't a joke I saw it happen! I know it's going to happen but we still have time," she yelled.
Beth turned to Veronica and Pete in the back seat of their SUV.
"You guys stay here, I'll take care of her," Beth said.
Beth got out of the car but by the time she was over there four people had come out of the bus to try to restrain her.
"Morgan what's wrong," Beth said jogging over.
"We've all got to get far away from here or else we'll die," Morgan yelled.
"Okay, come on we'll go away from here," Beth said leading her away.
A woman approached them with her husband and son.
"Should we be worried I mean she is pretty set in her ways," the woman said.
"No don't worry," Beth started.
"Please everyone if you want to live come with me please," Morgan said as Beth dragged her away.
The woman and her family followed her, as did an older man and another woman They walked in the driveway and halfway across the street when a car nearly hit them. A green convertible stopped in front of them.
"What's going on," the driver yelled angrily.
"Don't worry about it, she's hysterical and it's just that," Beth started.
"Baby it's six am lets stop somewhere and.," the driver's female companion started.
An explosion hit behind them. Beth screamed in horror as Morgan watched silent. Their SUV exploded into pieces. The flames spread to the two other cars which exploded shortly after. The bus pulled back from the car and turned at an impossible angle speeding through the gas pumps which moments later exploded as well.
Flames, smoke, and shrapnel flew through the air. The group in the street watched in horror as the ground where they had just stood moments ago was eradicated. Traffic slowed, people got out of their cars and watched.
All Morgan could do was watch, and feel that tear go down her cheek.
