Title: The Shadows Grow Long 10/18
~~~~~
Monday, 11:14pm, Steph's car, mid-air, VA
There was a steep ditch on either side of the road. Her little car hit a rock as they left the pavement, and there was a moment when she realized they were in flight. The freedom she felt from taking charge of this god-awful night was amazing.
Carl was yelling, "What the...?!"
�Steph held tight to the steering wheel, as if she could continue to steer the car towards the tree in mid-air.
The sound of the impact was terrific - metal rending, glass shattering, parts of the tree breaking, Carl screaming - then a huge crash as the car dropped to the ground.
And all was silent.
