Screaming. Crying. Crashing. Yelling. Trying to call for help. No one comes. What has happened? Why has this happened? What is going on?
I look over, all I see is what's left of the hunk of metal that used to be a car. A silver car, wrecked; sitting in the woods, in a ditch. I can't stop picturing their faces. So sweet and nurturing. Now red and ruined with blood. Why has this happened? I already miss them, my parents.
No one comes, not for hours and I'm stuck sitting on the side of an old, worn down road. The tree I'm sitting on is covered in green moss. And all I can do is picture their faces. Over and over and over again.
