Impact

Rear view mirror
fast
panic
car
brace yourself
coming
It’s going to happen
Crash
No!
crunch
stop!
head slamming
When will it
like a rag doll
be over?
I’m a trapped pinball
can’t control
sputter
silence
silence
distant voices
head throbbing
doors opening
blood, where?
Are you okay?
blank stare
backing away
help
get phone
David
insurance
bleeding
open phone
throbbing head
finger not working
David
fear
tears
shaking
disbelief
sirens
no control
