Prologue

     "Mitch, you alright, you really banged your head hard", said Chad, they just had been in a car accident, everyone was groggy. 

     "I... I think so, I don't know what I hit, and I don't know how it got their, all I know is that their wasn't something their before", Michael had a spotless driving record. He knew that his spotless driving record would end if an accident occurred. But their wasn't anything to ruin his spotless driving record. Mia in the backseat just started to wake up.

     "Guys, I think we should check if the guy is okay, I mean, he might be alive," the trio agreed and decided to check the front of the car, the scene in the front of the car was horrifying.

The body was wrapped in a sheet that was all bloody, most of the blood was the victims, some of the blood was from a combination of all three of them. Mitch looked under the sheet and was horrified at what he saw. It was a middle aged man with a big gash in his skull, like half of the skull was cracked open, with his eyes wide open. "He must have been horrified when he ran in front of us", Mitch said then he started checking the engine and the rest of his '97 Ford Mustang, they were just coming back from Chads soccer meet that was in a suburban area of Detroit that had to cover 25 miles of field and road.

     Mitch was starting to pace the width of the street now, "what are we gonna do, we just killed a man, I can't have this go on my record" Mitch started to freak out.

     Chad came out of the car, "Mitch chill, if we just dump the body in a ditch, you won't have to worry about a thing, nobody saw us do anything", Chad said trying to calm his friend down.

     Mitch calmed down and agreed with Chad, and Mia, returning to the  back seat, wasn't going to do anything about it, she was asleep, she woke up early in the morning for swimming practice. Chad and Mitch tried to lift the body up, but the corpse was too heavy to lift, so they asked Mia if she could help them.

     "I'll try to help as much as I can, but I won't be much use to you" Mia said with the sleepiness in her voice, she walked over to help the pair.

     As they got to the trench, they proceeded to dump the body, when they finished, they calmly to walked back to the car. As soon as they moved 20 ft, Chad heard something behind him and swiftly spun around.

    "who's there?, Show yourself" Chad exclaimed, acting like a tough guy, but his friends knew Chad was scared. When there was no response, the group started to walk again, this time Mitch heard the snap of a twig coming directly behind them, in that moment, Mitch kicked into high gear and hightailed it out of that situation like the sprinter he was. His friends running behind him, Mitch started the car, only to find a deranged man pounding on his window, Mitch waited for his friends, then slammed on the gas as he sped away from the area.

     "Who was that, a loonatic living in the forest?", Mitch tried to ask with what little breath he still had left.

     "Not sure Mitch, but I do know one thing, that guy is probably long gone now"

    Or so they thought, but the group went onward back to Detroit to go back to their normal lives...
