Darkness. Darkness overcomes me. I lay in a heap, my seatbelt digging into my raw flesh. Eyes closed. Heart racing. What has happened. Just moments ago we were cruising down the highway, wind in our hair, voices loud; mimicking the squeaky tones of some 70s one hit wonder. Then... the collision. I black out....

My eyes begin to flicker open. Sirens ring in the air, in my ears and in my head. I feel myself being lifted upwards.

"Miss, can you hear me?"

I attempt to speak but all I am able to produce is a small murmur. I am placed carefully on a metal trolley, strapped in then wheeled into what i assume to be an ambulance.

Bright lights, loud noices, voices I don't recognize.

"Just one surviver, 11 maybe 12 year old female."

'Just one surviver, just one surviver.' The words replay again and again in my mind. My family, the people I love most of all, dead!? A mask is held to my mouth and nose. I struggle, desperate to get to my family. But the drugs take over my body, I give up the fight and fall into a restless sleep.
