“That was too damned close,” sighed the lunar demon as she gripped the steering wheel. A curve in the road had appeared out of nowhere, startling her. Instinctively, she slammed on the breaks to stop the car; however, it slid due to the immense amount of new powder on the steep and narrow road. If it weren’t for a slight raise in elevation on the roads part, her heavy automobile would have slid over the edged and into the frost-bitten forest below.
However, as the half demon moved to get out, the car gave a sudden, terrifying lurch. Holding on for dear life, the woman could see out the windshield as it tilted downward, slowly. Fearing the worst, she buckled herself in tightly, however, when the car grew level with the steep incline it stopped. “Aska, thank whoever had the bright idea to put that bump before the edge of the road,” said Aleena. Now I just need to find a way to get out.
Peering beyond the windshield, the woman could see a man below looking at her vehicle like a deer in the headlights. You’d think he never saw a car before. “Why did this have to happen now!?” Exclaimed the lunar demon, being able to see the lights of the city just under a kilometre away.
Suddenly, the rear of the car began to creak and groan, the stress on the rear axle nearing the breaking point. The sound of popping rivets filled the silent road as the transmission began to pull away from the engine. Aleena cursed at her car and it’s bad habit of falling apart just when she needed it. However, cursing wouldn’t help her now.
Through the near-blinding snow, the half demon could see the man down the hill begin to run, possibly frightened that her Plymouth Fury was a monster, or something of the like. Sensing the futility in staying in the car, Aleena went to undo her seatbelt. It was too little, too late.
Giving another sudden lurch, the rear wheels slipped over the edge of the road, allowing Gravity to do its work on the car. The near 50-degree angle caused it to accelerate at great speed towards the fleeing man. It took nearly all the strength the lunar demon had just to prevent the car from going sideways and rolling down the hill. Sadly, her efforts were in vain, the car slamming into a large tree on the drivers’ side. The rest of the car, meanwhile, continued it’s decent, making it go sideways and thus started to roll.
Flipping on to the passenger’s side, the rear-view mirror snapped off now lost to the snow. As it flipped on the roof the canvas only supported by small pipe-like pieces of metal, bent and caved in as the windshield crashed. Glass flew everywhere as the vehicle continued its horrific decent, cutting Aleena significantly. It wasn’t until the twelfth roll that it flipped onto a large rock, hitting the driver in the head and knocking her unconscious.
Three heart-stopping minutes of rolling later, the once beautiful Plymouth looked like a wreck. Rolling into a large, spiky rock, the engine nearly disintegrated and the hood flying off, nearly hitting the fleeing man in the head. Eventually, and much to the man’s relief, the car eventually rolled to a stop, right side up, in the waist deep and freezing little stream literally just inside town near a popular bridge.
