Mourn

Everything happened so fast after the car spiralled out of control. Diaan, who was seated right behind the passenger seat, reached over and hugged Zac. Zac, petrified as he was, gripped his mother back with a bruising force. It felt like minutes, but was in fact mere seconds, when the car hit one of the reinforced concrete pillars of a bridge that went horizontally across the highway.

The passenger side of the car took the entire impact of the crash. Zac felt his head knock into something hard and felt his eyes grow heavy. He looked to the side and saw his mother’s motionless figure and noticed the blood running down her face. He groggily registered a few people screaming from the outside of the car. Sirens were also heard but by then, Zac had lost consciousness.
