Screeeeeeeeeeeeeech! Bam!
Lola hears the sickening crunch of car metal as she comes to a quick stop, hitting her head on the stirring wheel. A thick, dark, crimson wave washes down the front of her wind shield. Lola stares in horror.
"Oh my God. Oh my God!" she cries
Lola sees a small red-headed girl, about six, bawling in front of the car. As Lola steps out to examine the scene, eyes wide and hands trembling the girl's mother comes running into the street.
"ALYSSA!"
Alyssa's mother picks her up frantic. Lola begins to muster the words "I'm sorry."
"Fuck you, you stupid bitch! You almost killed my daughter! Someone call the police!"
Lola begins to feel her chest tightening as spectators on the street stare in shock at the bloody scene. Lola puts her hand to her head and feels a deep gash in her forehead. Plagued with fear, Lola begins to run as fast and as far away from the intersection as she can, hoping that somehow the windy city could pick her up in the current and carry her away.
