“We’re going to die!” Kriss screamed, her voice sharp and shrill.

Miraculously, the car managed to dodge every oncoming vehicle, but it couldn't avoid the huge tree on the other side of the highway.

The crash was massive. For Jack, it felt like it happened in slow motion. He could even hear the metal of the car crumpling from the impact against the tree that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

Millions of tiny shards of glass started raining everywhere. He also heard the engine completely shatter.

Max was the first to die. It happened instantly. Jack saw him launched forward by the force of the impact, his head bursting like a watermelon against the windshield. Without a seatbelt, he was a victim of gravity, flying straight into instant death.
