Chapter 2: DEATH 1
[Catastrophic Car Accident in Central Halkwall Leaves Five Dead, Two Survivors]
As the first vestige of day shown through Halkwall, the people were greeted with the most devastating news broadcast.
The report detailed a devastating scene of a truck throwing a car off the bridge and multiple other cars crashing on the said truck. It was said that the truck driver seemed to be at high speed and crashed a car in the next lane, leading to the death of many others in their cars too.
Amongst the seven victims, two had survived one of them being Harlow Blackwood. Now rushed into the emergency room as her body was bruised and most bones broken.
Harlow's mind was drifting into semi-consciousness despite the numerous noises from the emergency room and the sounds coming from the different machines inserted into her body. Her vision was blurred, but she could still make count of a man in white attire and some other women around her.
"Her blood pressure is dropping." She heard the faint voice of a woman as the woman's words floated like whispers through the fog of her fading consciousness. The sounds around her grew distant, muffled as if she were slipping into another world, a world where time moved slowly, and reality blurred at the edges.
"Prepare an adrenaline shot." She heard the doctor's voice from a distance. "We need to save her before we lose her." He completed.
Her hand held a cold substance firmly. Her phone. Amidst her confused and disorganized state, she still recognized what it was.
"Al..." Harlow barely made a sound. She was too weak to speak. She pressed a button, "The subscriber you're dialing cannot be reached at the moment. Please leave a message."
