This is a story im starting to write, tell me if the idea stinks or not
The wind howled and drove the snow against the windows. But inside the warm interior of the Lexus, the sheets of icy precipitation meant nothing to the sleeping passengers. The windshield wipers raced valiantly, though they fought a losing battle against the storm. The driver squinted out into the darkness, and cursed under his breath. Why had he not chosen to wait out the blizzard in the hotel?
The deer’s eyes caught the headlights and shone out through the haze. If it had not been for the snow, the man would have had more time to react. The deer remained unmoving even as the tires turned sharply and lost traction on the icy road. The car flew off the road and into a tree. Then the animal moved on, unaware of the destruction it had caused.
For a brief moment in time, the only sound was that of the airbags deflating. The perfect silence of four souls who had just survived death. Then the little boy began to cry.
