    Not knowing what happened to Debbie, Megan was frightened. She pried the back off the phone, took


    out the SIM card and dumped it into the trash bin.


    Under the water, Debbie tried to calm herself down. She had to save herself! She pried her white-


    knuckled hands off the steering wheel and covered her bleeding forehead. The water around the car


    was as ck as ink. She picked up her phone, opened the shlight app and Looked for the Lifesaving


    hammer with the light.


    The posh car was well outfitted. In just a few minutes, she found just what she needed. Good thing,


    since the air inside the car was getting thinner. A sigh of relief escaped her chest as she lifted the


    hammer out of the box under the seat.


    The cabin would soon be devoid of air. Debbie was winded and shaken.


    Her head wound was still bleeding, but she paid it little mind. ‘Not much time left. Need to break the

    She held the hammer, and put a ding in the window. At this point, she might run out of air before she

    take Long before a crack formed. Then, a spiderweb of cracks. Finally, the window exploded inward as


    torrents of water gushed into the cabin.


    Holding her breath, she swam out of the car and made her way upwards.

    The water was muddy, and she was unable to open her eyes. She only heard a honking from far


    away.


    It was winter, and the water was freezing. Luckily, she had taken off her down jacket in the car. Her


    soaked sweater alone was so heavy.


    She struggled to take it off, and then she felt lighter.


    She kicked her legs hard and saw the blue sky.


    But then, the rapids washed over her, and the currents dragged her under again, as she gulped a


    mouthful of water.


    Myriad feelings gripped her—cold, hurt, terrified, sad… ‘Carlos…


    Save me…’


    Although she could swim, she gradually lost consciousness after staying in the water for so long. She


    wasn’t cold anymore. Instead, she feltforting warmth embrace her. It was a fiction, though-she


    knew the end was near.


    “No! I can’t die here. I haven’t had a baby with Carlos yet. I haven’t found my brother. I haven’t said


    goodbye to my friends…”


    Carlos had been nice to Debbie all this time, and she really couldn’t die like this.

    After what felt like an eternity, she could breathe again. She took several breaths and shouted for help.
