Why me?

Seaside?

Alice was beginning to feel sleepy. The road seemed to go on without end, the woods around her were not changing a single bit and it was all too monotonous for her to keep her awake, and the sea didn't look like it was going to appear soon. "Mommy?", she asked, yawning and covering her mouth with her little hand. "Yes, darling?", her mother turned around and looked at her over her shoulder, broadly smiling. "Are we almost there?" Her mother laughed, put her arm behind her seat to gently squeeze Alice's knee and quietly replied through a smile: "Not quite, honey. You go ahead and sleep, and don't worry, I won't forget to wake you up once the sea appears". Alice yawned again and caught her father's eye watching her in the mirror in the middle of him and his wife. "Do you want me to put the lullaby CD in?", he asked and Alice nodded, lying her head on the pillow and taking her sneakers off. It was so perfectly peaceful for sleeping, the music was relaxing, the road was without any sudden curves and daddy was riding calmly, not too slow nor to fast so Alice was quick to fall asleep. She dreamt of something very peculiar, something that scared her a whole lot more than any of her dreams, ever. In her dream, there was this shaky voice that was whispering something to her ear, somebody was constantly stabbing her hand with their sharp, big fingernails and when she would look down, she would see that she was sitting in a pool of her own blood. She woke up screaming and her mother turned to her in alarm. "Jesus!", she exclaimed, her hand on Alice's shoulder. "Alice, what's wrong?", Alice sprung up from the laying position she was in and her eyes started to widen in horror. Her father let out a terrified gasp mixed with a curse word, and when Alice's mother tried to turn around to see what is so scary that both her husband and daughter seem to have lost it, it was already too late. They were about an inch away from a huge truck that suddenly stopped at the middle of the crossroad and a second or so later, they crashed into it with full speed as Alice's shrieks and cries filled the air, there was a loud BOOM! and suddenly, everything went dark...
