Tried a different style to begin with but then it flows back to my usual writing.

Screech, a muffled voice, and then silence fell.

Screaming sirens and alarming engines were distant but they still surrounding my ears, contaminating them with high pitched noises; the only noises. Nothing else was audible, and I soon realised I was submerged in midnight black even though I couldn't see anything. I didn't even know if my eyes were open or shut closed.

Attempting to find out, I rotated my neck as far as it would but the pain was too evident and immense telling me something was wrong. Was I paralysed? Did I even have a body? Maybe it was all a dream as I hadn't seen anything so my eyes must be shut. It must be a trick of the mind I told myself but would I have been able to imagine such pain? In a bid to solve my mystery I tried to open my eyes but I found my eyelids to be glued shut. However, I had could now feel something very heavy lying on top of my face preventing me my vision.

My breathing started to increase as panic started to engulf me. I couldn't see and it seemed I was stuck under something unmovable. Maybe I still had a voice. As I tried to unzip my lips, as a solution out, coldness pressed up against them in a solid shape with no means of flexibility. I wanted to cry; I wanted to shout, but my body was incapable. I couldn't even work out where I was. Maybe the rest of my body could help me out.

I commanded my fingers and toes to wiggle but they were immovable, presumably encased in metal or some other material I was yet to discover, if there was anything else but metal. I tried to move my stiffened legs; they remained the same, as did my arms. Everything was so numb, possibly from cut off circulation from objects above or maybe because I was paralysed from the neck down. This only left me with my ears that had also seemed to have stopped working as I couldn't hear any sirens now or had they just been turned off completely? It didn't help that I couldn't see anything, which might have given me a hint.

I tried to jog my memory from earlier in the day- night, but I couldn't find anything except for a very loud car brakes grinding to a halt. I forced myself to zoom in on that noise, trying to scavenge even the most miniscule detail as to where I was or what had happened. Even what vehicle the noise was from may have given me an indication. It had been loud, very loud. This shouted out at me as not being a small car, but also not a lorry, it wasn't as loud as a lorry but it had been loud. Maybe the noise was so loud because it had been so close and not from a great big engine. Randomly a switch was turned on in my head, telling me it had been a close encounter with a car. I tried to weave any more connections to it but only found darkness.

Darkness- that had followed after the incident I recalled, but there was something else, I could sense it. Another noise, maybe this noise had impacted me into thinking everything was louder than it had been. Suddenly I heard a voice talking, a strangers voice though, no one I knew. I spiked up my ears, which I thought to be useless, only to find out they were picking up sounds. Quiet murmurs, but murmurs.

"There are two people inside, trapped", I heard a deep voice say around me, most likely a male.

Two people. There were two people; this lingered on me. Work brain work I told myself frustrated at my lack of memory. Who else was with me?

I thought hard for a good few minutes before my memory came sweeping back to me. Maybe I'd had a bit of amnesia, none the less I could finally remember everything that had happened. How the car had driven out of the road at the wrong time. How it had collided with our car at a great speed before heavily relying on the brakes which barely did anything and how Simon had shouted at me to get down before it hit me side on. How could I have forgotten Simon?

Hope you enjoyed and part 2 will be out later today.
