Gently turning the wheel, she inched her way to the guardrail, hoping the friction between the car and the railing would eventually bring her to a halt.

    Sparks erupted between the car and the guardrail.

    Frantically, Ste stomped on the brakes and wrenched the steering wheel.

    The tires screeched loudly against the pavement.


    The car flipped over, and the airbags deployed.


    Ste’s world spun, blood trickling down from her forehead, blurring her vision further.


    She sensed her consciousness slipping away, her body chilling rapidly.


    “Matthew…” With immense struggle, she fumbled for her phone.


    But her hands felt powerless.
