The front of a truck smashes through my side window. I scream, "HELP!!" Strangely, everything on my right side disappears, replaced by searing pain.
The vehicles begin to tumble down the hill. We're rolling, faster, faster, faster faster fasterfasterfasterfaster.............
Momentarily, everything freezes, as if someone had pressed pause. I focus my lopsided vision enough to see that we're going to stop soon. A towering evergreen is looming on my side of the car. Then, the stillness stops "AAAHHH!!" Someone is screaming. I realize it's me. "NONONONONONONO!!!"
