One Dark Night
This thread is closed for cgraven
It has been ages since she last had a carefree night out on the town with the girls. Annie had been so engrossed in her studies that her social life had ground to a halt. They were talking for hours and she had perhaps had a glass or two too many, but Annie was not too concerned, it would be a while before she climbed behind her steering wheel and with that in mind, she switched to coffee.
An hour or two later, Annie started making her way home, a soft smile touching her lips as she considered how much it meant to have such a wonderful group of friends in her life. There were some deep waters under that bridge and she wouldn’t have had it any other way. Having spent a night in total disregard of the barrage of books that lay waiting for her at home, on the rule of law, was a wonderful reprieve. Annie’s azure blue eyes were smiling, as she replayed the conversations in her mind, her raven hair spiralling down her shoulders, contrasting the natural pallor of her skin. She was humming along to a song and enjoying the drive.
It was a peculiarly dark night out with a slither of the moon safely tucked away between dark and ominous clouds that were threatening to storm their contents to the earth below, at any second. Annie had taken her eyes off the road for a second to change the song on her music centre, and when a boisterous bolt of thunder, boomed through the night sky, her eyes flew up to see something standing in the middle of the road.
A shriek of shock left her lips as she desperately tried to swerve. Annie wasn’t going fast at all, but the sudden change of direction and the inevitable laws of gravity, sent her car rolling across the road – suspending her in mid-air for a moment before the car landed hard on the other side of the road.
Modern safety measures are an absolute lifesaver as the car’s airbags deployed almost immediately, unfortunately though, hitting Annie’s head a fraction too hard on the side of the window and rendering her unconscious.
The silence was deafening and in stark contrast to the cacophony of the accident, a few seconds ago.
Annie’s raven hair laid in disheveled streaks across her face; her handbag and the rest of the car’s contents scattered across the road. She had taken a back road on her way home and was somewhere on a road that wasn’t frequented often. Tall trees towered over her car. One light was broken, but the other tried its best to illuminate the woodlands before it, the lush undergrowth casting eerie shadows.
Annie’s breathing was halted as the safety belt held her in place, her eyes closed – completely oblivious to the world around her....
