Devil in the Dark

Something I am trying out

I felt the force of the seat belt pull tight. I heard glass fiercely shattering and the disintegrated shards blanketed me. I saw the car flip in the air as I flew like an angel through the air. The landing was soft and the grass felt cool. The clouds lit up the sky making it easy for me to believe that it was a dream.
The car had been traveling at autobahn speeds and was built for it. The audi A8 cornered like a dream and held to the road steadfastly. It was the other objects in the way that the car or driver could not anticipate. How the signal pegs appeared out of nowhere is still to be determined.
A light flickered over my eyes. Was this my angel again? Had I finally been released form this constricting position? The lighter grazed across my eyes stronger this time. What felt like an eternity later, the light came in steady contact. A distant voice called out, “I found a body!”
Another voice boomed, “Is it female?”
The distant voice was kind and awkward, he replied “Yes, a female, a young female.”
I heard the rustling of keys and heavy boots in the crisp grass. Then the presence of a big man shadowed the starry night. His unsettling deep breath was sinister and demanding. His voice boomed in command, “Check her vitals.”
