As soon as all the excitement settled over, the car got pretty quiet. Isabelle was texting away on her phone while Cooper was tapping away to his music. We were in a deserted suburb on the outskirts of the city. Nevertheless, I was driving so I still had to concentrate full time on the road, but droplets of water on the windscreen caught my attention. I rolled down the window and had a peak at the sky. A rain drop hit me right in the eye and I lost control of the steering wheel. BAM! The car immediately tipped over into its side and had all of us hanging onto our chairs for dear life. I banged my head on the car's roof but I could just about make out Isabelle's screaming as the hull of our car screeched with the gravel road. Sparks flew into the air as the car skid then finally collided into a nearby pole.
Author's note:
Funny how a rain drop can put your life at stake, eh?
Have a good read and thank you for going on...
Oh and one more confirmation...is it 'peak' or 'peek'?
Thank you!
