"My eyes close... my head bangs on the airbag. Shards of glass pass all over my face and everything is spinning. My head and neck is twisting and turning repeatedly. Everything is happening so vastly but I can't put anything together or think clearly as I'm getting hit in the head. Suddenly the car stops, the carnage, and the nightmare is over. I look at my friend, then she looked at me and we are both thinking about what happened. My friend hears a loud noise coming our way, looks to her left, and it starts all over.
Blood and glass is spattered everywhere. I feel something hit my left arm really hard. Again everything is shifting, it's like I’m on a roller coaster, a roller coaster where the ride's my biggest nightmare.
After I regain conciseness my body starts to shake because of the shock I'm in. But once I look to my left, a sight turns that shock into something more. That sight made me cry, the sight made me scream, that sight gave me a pain worst that what my bruises and cuts could. That sight is my friend dead."
This vignette involves a story of a girl who got herself in a serious accident texting while driving. I was inspired to write it because it knew it could have an effect on a reader and raise awareness on the dangers of committing this act. Although it is both dramatic and heartbreaking I felt it made for a great read. And even though I've writing short stories before, I've never done it in a journalistic manner. While writing this vignette I learned that a story with characters and script can be found anywhere at anytime. It even improved my writing skills vastly.
