Chapter 3: The faster you go…

"Louis!" Ren shouted hysterically at her brother. Immediately, he was jolted out of his fantasy. The sight in front of him made his blood run ice cold.

"Shit!" he screamed as he scrambled to turn the wheel. The trunk's deafening horn seemed to signal the imminent crash.

Ren could not believe her eyes. She saw, as if in slow motion, the truck inching its way in front of their car. She couldn't breath, it seemed that her heart got stuck in her throat. It was then that she realized that she's been holding her breath. Her life flashed before her eyes.

His hands have already turned white from his grip on the steering wheel. Frantically, he tries to avoid the crash. He swerves the car hard to the right, as they round the sharp curve. Something inside screamed at him to do something, but all he could think about at the moment was the truck ahead. Oh god, oh god! Please don't let this happen! Alas, his prayers fell on deaf ears. Just as they were about to clear the curve, the truck clipped the end of the car. This sent them on a dangerous tailspin. Louis stole a quick glance at his sister, a feeling of dread creeping its way from head to toe. 

Ren felt like she was floating. Everything was spinning so fast around her. Faster and faster, she could hardly see the things around her. Then she heard it. First a dull sound, then rising and rising, until she realized that it was the sound of a scream. It took moments before she recognized that it was her own.

The car continued its fast and dangerous spin, its path seemingly endless. Nobody could have prepared them for the impact, as the car's passenger side finally hit a tree. The crash sounding very much like an explosion. In an instant, the car was jolted into an eerie stop. Everything faded into darkness.
