I was pressing the gas pedal, desperately trying to get away from this place as fast as I could.
Tears were rolling down my cheeks, blurring my vision.
The lights from cars in front of me were refractive. I took a deep breath, from time to time checking the back mirror to see if they are still chasing me.
I gripped the wheel and switched the gears, feeling the car going faster.
Suddenly, as I was about to make a sharp turn, my car swerved and rolled over the road a few times.
I have no clue how I am still alive or conscious.
I groaned and turned my head to see an officer trying to get me out of the vehicle.
Those fu*kers spiked my tires.
I knew there was no chance for me to escape this madness. Not anymore.
