Fear.
Slip, crash, everything turns white.
Am I going to die? I have no sight.
My life flashed before my eyes.
It's amazing I didn't die.
We slipped, we tumbled, I heard the crunch.
My windshield caved in. Just a hunch.
I'm suddenly soaked. We're in water?
I know my parents love their daughter.
Did I crawl out the window, or through the door?
I can't even bare to think anymore.
Oh thank God the water is only ankle high.
How the hell am I still alive?
Climb. Climb up, we have to climb.
I'm so cold, there isn't much time.
Run. Stephen is only a mile away.
I don't know where else I'll be safe.
This is stupid. I'm going numb.
I guess I was kind of dumb.
I'll knock on doors upon windows, upon floors.
I just want help, nothing more.
I'm getting colder, and getting weak.
Into homes, I can only peak.
I'm bleeding, I don't remember how.
No one is answering... just wow.
I knock, a dog barks. Oh please come help.
I'm so scared, I let out a yelp.
They answer the door, I begin to cry.
I'm sorry, I say. I just almost died.
I'm too much of a mess to speak.
Andrew does the talking for me.
I stand there shaking, she cleans my wound.
I look around, what a lovely room.
Thank you for your hospitality.
This could have been the end of me.
The state trooper is coming, I'm so afraid.
I guess my destiny has been made.
It was not my time last night.
Nor was it his, oh what a fright.
I can't fathom how we're alive.
But all that matters is we didn't die.
