Thanks to the bike’s speed, Jacob reached the turnoff within about ten minutes. The sight of Road 219 sank Jacob’s heart. Automobiles littered the road like discarded toys. Some vehicles had their doors open, their drivers and passengers having fled.

Jacob slowed down so he could peddle down the middle of the road, cutting between the stalled vehicles. It was bizarre. Yesterday the roads Jacob traveled had been lined with confused people looking for help, answers, anything. The stillness of this current scene sent shivers down his spine.

Jacob then pedaled past a four-door car that was just off the side of the road. It had smashed into a tree. The impact had crumpled the hood and engine compartment, but worse, it had killed the driver and front passenger on impact. The backs of the two unfortunate souls easily were visible, and before Jacob could stop or turn away, he pedaled within easy sight of their faces. They had smashed into the dashboard so deeply it seemed as though the foot of a giant had squashed the pair into their car.

Jacob picked up the pace to get away from the car. He felt so ill that he had to skid to a stop. He huffed and wheezed and, for a while, he thought he would throw up.

“Damn it!” he repeated through heavy breathing. The visage of those two dead people had shaken him up badly. He never had seen people so gruesomely killed, not in person. No R-rated shoot ‘em up film could have prepared him for this.

It took a few minutes for Jacob to get his bearings. He felt well enough to start riding again, and he vowed to put a great amount of distance between himself and this scene in a hurry.

Middleburg. Let me get there soon.
