Everything inside me heaves as my truck skids across the pavement, the tires making this terrible screeching sound. The mother—I think it’s the mother—darts out into the street too. Oh God oh God this can’t be happening again. Mom and Dad. The car not stopping. Is this what they felt when they realized it was too late? My tires catch on the curb, and my stomach lurches into my throat as the truck goes airborne. Please, God, don’t let me die now. Not when shit’s just getting good. There’s a scream. Then everything goes black.
