I opened my blurry eyes. I felt immense heat next to me. I turned my head slightly and saw my burning car. I looked at the other side and saw my Linda, very burnt and injured. Her head was bleeding profusely. She just looked at the stars above her, not moving at all.
I looked at myself. My clothes were burnt off almost completely. I was bleeding too, my legs were bent in an unnatural shape.
"Is he dead?" A distant voice said. I turned towards my right slightly. I could see two immensely big men talking to each other.
"Seems so. That guy ain't move for an hour, bruv."
"Good. We can finally relax again. Eddy Brown is dead as fuck and we can carry on our business."
The two brothers walked away. I didn't know what was going on, and I didn't give a fuck at the moment.
I stretched my hand to Linda's and held her palm. She didn't respond. She kept a lovely smile, looking at the stars.
And then I remembered.
