Chapter 104

It started to pour cats and dogs all of a sudden bringing her back to senses. She noticed that they had been announcing this on the radio; the announcer added that it was expected to get worse and someone was interrupting him asking questions about yesterdays prediction and he started explaining the change in the wind pattern and the topic was slowly shifting to Global warming.

She just happened to notice the light that had been blinking indicating that she needs some fuel to run. She didn’t know how many miles she can drive more and between the wipers tried to look at to see where she was; she was on the route to Pryag’s hospital; without realizing she had driven that route and she remembered there was no service area for the next ten miles. She knew she can drive between fifteen and twenty miles when the light goes on, but she hadn’t noticed when it had started blinking.

She wondered if she should pull over or take a chance and drive over to take the next exit and try to find a gas station. She didn’t know if any will be open considering it were thanks giving. She tried to pull over and maybe call someone and her car started skidding and she tried to manage it, realizing it was due to hydroplaning and her car came to a halt after brushing on the side railing.
