Darkness snuck into my peripheral vision. Woozy from the loss of blood, I could only see directly in front of me.

I reached into my coat pocket to see if there was a slim chance that my cell phone wasn't smashed. It was on the opposite side from my crushed hip, so maybe, just maybe it might still work.

With reluctance, I pulled off my glove to press the power switch. When I saw the screen come alive, I cried out in delight. My fingers were so cold and stiff and I shook so much from the shivering I couldn’t slide the damn lock feature. It took me four times and I still couldn’t unlock it. It was a tiny movement, maybe two inches at the most. If I kept screwing up, the bloody phone would lock me out. I cursed and cried out before accepting neither one helped my situation.

Taking a deep breath, I willed my fingers to remain steady before I took another swipe. When it finally unlocked, I whooped before pressing the emergency button.

I only had time to tell the dispatcher my name and location as the darkness crept in. I could barely note the moon's glare from above, the only sign of light left.

As I collapsed back onto the rock and focused on the moon, I had another thought. If I made it out of here, I wouldn’t just be a very young widow.

I’d also be a rich one.
