What was that! Heart and Soul #8sunday #snippetsunday
Keep in mind Heart and Soul is a WIP.
This is in Rowan's POV.
***
She carefully maneuvered her
way down the dirt road where the foliage threatened to overtake the path,
confirming her suspicions that no one had driven down here for quite some
while. She glanced on either side of the road as she drove slowly, the worn
gravel crunching beneath her tires. A flash of white in peripheral vision made
her riveted her gaze to the front where a woman stood in the road.
"Holy crap!"
She slammed on the breaks and swerved, knowing she was going to hit the woman no matter her attempts to avoid her. She careened into the brushes and slammed to halt, her seatbelt tightening against her and jarring her back against her seat. She sat there squeezing the steering wheel. The only audible sound was her heart pounding in her ears. She whirled around in her seat to look toward the road. Had she hit the woman?
(This is the end of 10 sentences. for Weekend Warriors. Continue for Snippet Sunday 300 words or less, if you wish. :))
She hadn't heard the dreaded thud of soft tissue colliding against unforgiving metal. Her fingers fumbled to undo the seatbelt before she threw open her door. Swiping away the foliage, as she hurried up the incline to the dirt road. Dread laced its way up her spine threatening to choke her. Her gaze frantically searched the area for the woman. She jogged to the other side of the road. If she had hit the lady, maybe she'd been thrown in the opposite direction.
Nothing. Nada. No sign of anyone. Her gaze traveled back at her car as another horrific image came to mind. but she had to know. With heavy steps, she went back to investigate. She crouched down on her knees and took a deep breath before she quickly glanced under her vehicle.
