"God! Why do I have these kinds of people in my life?!" Judith Collins shouted in frustration, her voice echoing through the confines of her car as she sat stuck in traffic.

"First, my family keeps asking me for money to support their lazy lifestyle, and I just keep giving in! Why can't I say no to them? They even want me to pay off my younger sister's tuition! The obvious favorite daughter! Ugh! Maybe I still hope they'll show some appreciation toward me, but..." Her voice trailed off, the weight of her unspoken thoughts heavy in the air.

Deep down, Judith knew the truth: her family never truly loved her. She couldn't pinpoint exactly why, but she suspected it was for shallow reasons.

Her younger sister, Vera, had everything Judith lacked—a beautiful face, a perfect figure, and the adoration of everyone around her. In contrast, Judith felt like the total opposite of her sister, always overshadowed, always overlooked.

"And now my boyfriend just broke up with me over the phone! He even admitted to cheating on me for the past six months! That scumbag!" she seethed, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.

Her boyfriend, James, had been someone she thought she could count on. They had met in college and had been together for seven years, dating since they were freshmen. Judith had believed he was the one, the person she would spend her life with. But his callous words that day shattered her illusions.

"Judith, you're just too boring. All you do is focus on work, and you barely want to go out. In the beginning, we had fun, but now you're just too serious," James had said, his voice devoid of emotion as he broke up with her over the phone.

"But that doesn't excuse you for cheating on me!" Judith had yelled, her voice thick with anger and betrayal.

"...It just happened, and I couldn't control my feelings. She has a spontaneous personality that I couldn't help but feel attracted to..." James had replied, still in that careless, indifferent tone.

"You know what?! FUCK YOU, JAMES! FUCK YOU!" Judith had screamed before hanging up, her hand trembling as she fought the urge to throw her phone in a fit of rage.

"God... Despite making six figures a year as a software engineer, why is my life so shitty...? I really have no one who truly loves me..." she whispered, the sadness in her voice a stark contrast to the earlier anger.

Just then, the red light turned green, snapping Judith out of her thoughts.

As she started to drive again, a truck driver nearby suddenly lost control, unnoticed by anyone else on the road.

The truck swerved violently, crashing into several vehicles in its path, its momentum carrying it closer and closer to Judith's car.

Judith glanced out her window, her eyes widening in a mix of shock and fear as she saw the massive vehicle bearing down on her.

"What the—?!" The words caught in her throat as the truck slammed into the driver's side of her car.

The impact was brutal. Judith felt excruciating pain, and then everything went black.

Judith Collins was no more.
