Excerpt:
It
started to snow. Thick and heavy.
Deep
in thought, she registered the brake lights of the car in front of her a
nanosecond too late. Carola hit the brakes hard, and felt her truck fighting
the slippery road. She managed to slow down enough to avoid crashing into the
rear bumper of the car in front of her, but the right front wheel of her truck
slid over the shoulder, hit the snow bank covering the ditch and came to a
stop.
She
moved into first gear and accelerated again. The truck buried itself deeper.
Now both wheels, front and back, slid into the ditch. Leaning sideways, the
truck would not right itself without being pulled.
Shit.
Shit. Shit.
She
hit the steering wheel with her bare hands.
She
switched the hazard lights on, climbed out of the cab, walked to the side of
the road to avoid oncoming traffic, and pulled out Maria’s cell.
No
reception.
Shit,
again.
Fat
snowflakes danced around her face, seriously reducing visibility and muffling
most sounds. Standing by the roadside was getting dangerous.
A
pickup passed. A guy leaned across the passenger seat, the window slid down.
“Can
I help you?”
