The crash had woken him. He jumped out of bed, heart hammering in his chest. Across the street, the massive sycamore, that belonged to the family of the dead, was down. They had just moved into the home, and were a pretty strange family.

He stood there, frozen, staring at the sight. It was a disaster, a terrible tragedy.

He felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. The fall felt staged.

He went to find his phone.
