The mist was terrible. It covered the road Making the road visible to see; better drive careful; Mikey stares at him with a concerned look, Be ca, careful dad, I will tell son,
I won't drive fast. It's too wet and slippery to focus on the road.
Driving through the country around the mountain and across open fields, the rain had dined down, sprinkling as The headlights shined against the Mist as they went through,
Suddenly a figure was on the road. The lights shined as the image emerged. The silo wet appeared. Watch out! Mickey called out. Raymond reacted quickly, swinging the steering wheel, swerving but losing control of the car as it slides and skids into a tree " SMASH " The vehicle crashed into a tree on the other side of the road when Raymond was knocked out cold from hitting his head on the steering wheel. Mikey was also knocked out but with minor injuries,
The Mist flowed across the road as the train came to a stop.

And the Vampire stared down at Mikey, sniffing his hair.
The Vampire open the door, grabbing Mikey as holding him in its arm's When They disappeared into theist,
Moments passed, and Raymond had come.'
Is he waking opening openings f, feeling dizzy and nauseous?
Feeling the pain in his head as Raymond sits up, he leans back, grabbing the rearview mirror noticing the blood dripping down his face; wiping the blood with his fingers, Raymond stares at his hand covered in blood.
