The storm rages on, the downpour relentless. Athena's knuckles are white as she grips the steering wheel, her jaw clenched in concentration. Rain batters the windshield, making it almost impossible to see. Sana shifts nervously in the passenger seat, sensing the tension.
Sana
(forcing a laugh) Okay, remember that time we got lost in the woods? At least we’re not stuck out there again!
Athena
*Athena doesn’t respond, her focus entirely on the road ahead.*
Sana
(quieter) Athena, maybe we should slow down…
*Before Athena can reply, a sharp bend in the road appears out of nowhere. She swerves too late. The tires lose grip on the slick pavement.*
Athena
(panicked) Hold on!
*The car skids, spinning wildly out of control. Sana gasps, gripping the seat as the world tilts. The car crashes violently into the guardrail, the impact sending them into a terrifying spiral.*
.
Everything slows. The screech of metal bending, glass shattering, and the heavy thud of the car flipping fill the air. Sana’s scream is cut short as darkness consumes them.
Silence
.
The wreckage of the car lies still, rain pouring over it, soaking the twisted metal as the storm continues unabated.
