When the emts arrived at the scene i was the only one they could even manage to get out of the car. The car was damaged and wrapped around the pole. All the blood and broken glass was terrible. I was barely alive when they found me. Some say it was miracle, some say its a sign that i’m a witch. I say its a curse, to know that your family died and that you're the only one to survive. I mean many people would be happy to be alive, not me. I keep secrets, secrets no one else will know, or even have. This is my life story from beginning to end.
