car crash, thump, flash fiction, sirens
I slam down on the brakes. My heart is racing. I can hear the beating in my ears. It’s the only sound, covering everything thing else. Cars are everywhere. Smashing, slamming, breaks skidding. But all I can hear is my heart beat. The front of my car smashes into a window. Broken glass flies everywhere. It hits me, my arms, my face. Thump, thump. My head hurts. People are screaming, rushing towards me. I look down at my lap. It’s dyed red with blood. I wonder who’s it is. The cars in the intersection behind me are stopped now, people flooding out of them. Thump. Glass litters the street. Sirens, barely audible. Someone is pulling me out of the car, tugging on my arm. Pain. Heart beat. I collapse onto the ground beside my car. More blood. Yelling. Thump. The world starts to blacken. I look around myself. People, scattered, some crying. Dark. Black. The thumping stops.
