What was left of my strength started to diminish as I stood there and watched the car burn in front of my eyes. Monstrous fear I never knew I was capable of struck my ice-cold body paralyzed.
This is not happening... I told myself over and over again.
I pressed my eyes tightly until I saw star bursts. I told myself when I opened them I would wake up from this nightmare. When I thought I was ready my eyes fluttered open but the scene was just the same. The car was still there.... Burning.
This was reality.... And it was so painful I could scarcely breathe.
The last of my strength escaped my body. My legs collapsed and I slumped to the rough pavement with shoulders shaking uncontrollably. Tears would not stop flowing lown my flushed cheeks.
I haven't spent much time with Ace. Why does it need to happen? Why? We are so happy but suddenly things ended this way..
