"Are we there yet?"
"Not yet, sweetie, just a little bit more," the woman sitting in front said.
The love for her son was obvious in her voice. She doted on him the most. For her son, she could give even her life...
"Hmph, you said that 30 minutes ago too!"
We have been driving for so long! When will it ever end!
The boy had not yet endured the hardships of life. Thanks to his loving parents, he was still entitled
and impatient, like any other kid in the rural areas.
After letting out a huff, he turned to the window, hoping to cure his boredom.
After a few minutes of looking deadpan outside, he turned his gaze to the sky.
"Hey, Mom, what's that bright star called?"
"That's Sirius, the brightest star in our night sky."
"And that one?" he pointed at an inconspicuous star with a dim green glow.
"That is... wait, I've never seen that one before," she pursed her lips before folding her newspaper and looking away.
He frowned and felt bored again.
Can something interesting happen for once!
Just as he was hoping for, something happened...
"The brakes don't work!" After being silent all the way, his father finally spoke up.
His father was shaken, frantically pressing the brakes.
As they passed a flickering street lamp, it flickered, illuminating the cliff ahead.
The wheels barely held on as the car spun out of control.
As the car flipped, his vision spun and shook as they crashed onto the ground, barely stopping before they would slide off the cliff.
Cough... cough...
Ouch! My head!
His ears were ringing, and his fingers were twitching from shock.
After the dust settled, he opened his eyes...
Before he immediately closed them, letting out a stifled scream.
