Chapter Twenty-Four

Wall of Flames

“Breaking news, this just in, a plane bound for London has crashed moments after taking off from Sydney Airport. The wreckage of the craft has sprawled across Qantas Drive....”

Alex and Michelle looked at each other with shock. “Oh my God...”

“Fucking hell...”

“...there are grave fears there are no survivors. Several witnesses have rung the station from their cars as traffic is blocked for several kilometres. Emergency services have been dispatched but there are massive delays in getting there. To any drivers on the road, a reminder to please move aside and let them through as it is an offence not to do so. We will bring you any updates as they come along, but in the meantime, please keep the passengers and their loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.”

Alex pointed out the window as the radio reverted back to music. “Mish...look.”

Michelle gasped at the huge haze of orange seen just over the trees to their right. From there, the airport wasn’t all that far away, but it still looked closer than it was. The sky was so dense the dust and smoke rose only to be absorbed into the black and disappear. It was as if the smoke was feeding the darkness which seemed to be sucking it up from the wreck as if needing more and ravenous with its hunger.

Alex got out as soon as the car stopped. The street was quiet and not a soul was in sight. She looked out over the trees at the haze, staring at it, imagining what those poor people must’ve gone through. The loss of life. The tragedy of it all. People died all the time; it was true. Dying was a part of life but so many people? So horribly? Alex longed for hope in her own world. And despite the dark things that crept through it, she trusted that good would always overcome. Situations like this though, shook her to her core.

“You can’t do anything for them,” Michelle said softly, standing beside her, putting her hand on Alex’s back.

“It’s not that. Well...”

“I can tell on your face. You get a look.”

“I guess I just wish I could help,” Alex replied, shaking her head to clear it before walking back to the car. “But what can I do? It’s stupid. I’m just one person.”

“You still would try. It’s one of the things I love about you.”

“But what good is that?” Alex replied. “A lot of people have good intentions. Doesn’t mean they can or will do anything.”

“Alex don’t do this to yourself. You’re acting like this was somehow your fault.”

“It’s not that...” Alex said, placing her hand on the door. “I guess with all this...” she said, waving her hand around her at the pitch blackness. “I’m looking for hope.”

Michelle was about to respond but screamed instead, and both women jumped back as a car sped directly into their trunk, crushing it. Alex took a few seconds to process the near miss before running ahead. The car that hit them had someone clinging to its hood: someone with fangs.
