Mummy!

"Kenzie, don't worry. Mummy is here"

"The doors are jammed, Presley. The car is almost over the bridge"

"How didn't this even happen, John"

"I have no idea, the truck came out of nowhere"

"Call for help"!!

"Who am I supposed to call in this situation"

"The police, medic , Jake, anyone!! . I'm losing lots of blood.. I don't wanna die now John , Kenzie is still a baby".

"I can't Presley. Any little move I make pulls the car down closer into the water"

"Oh my God"

"We need to get Kenzie out somehow. She can't die this way"

Silence


"John?"

"Yes Presley?"

"I'm scared"

Silence

"Presley I can hear the sirens . The police is here , everything is going to be alright"

"Help!!"

"There's a baby on board "

"Presley, quit fretting , the more you move , the closer the car goes over the bridge"
.
"Help!!!!.. my baby.. I don't want her to get hurt"

"Presley!!! , everything is going to be ...."

Splash.

Silence


"Sergeant, I think we're too late"

"There was a car at the edge of the bridge but before we could get here, it had already fallen into the lake..Yes sir , I don't think anyone can survive a fall from this height... I don't think there's any survivor sir....Hold up ..

"What's that floating on the water?"

"It's a baby ,sir"

" it's alive".

***************

I woke up to the buzzing alarm on the bedside.
7:45am .urgg! I sure am going to be late for school again. It has already become habitual. I rarely got enough sleep these days. The nightmares were back again.Though I've been taking some sleeping pills , they didn't seem to be strong enough to overpower these nightmares.
After a quick shower , I hurried downstairs for the usual morning routine and of course, get prepared for my aunty and sassy cousins.
