"If I leave now, I'll be home in four hours" I explained. I drew my long hair, into a bun on the top of my head, to prepare for the long drive ahead. "I'll give you a ring when I get there, so you don't worry."

"You're too kind." drawled Jess, her tone laced with heavy sarcasm.

Ignoring my sister, I walked over to my parents and gave each of them a big hug.

"Thank you so much for having me."

"Please take care, Darling" murmured my mother, the fear apparent in her eyes. "The weather is really setting in."

"Please be careful" murmured Jess as she squeezed me tightly.

"Always" I smiled, hugging her back equally hard, before grabbing my bag and pulling open the front door.

I raised my hand and smiled as I drove away, determined not to look back.

For the first few miles, I stood by my decision. Although the roads were largely untreated and a little slippery, they remained passable. Gradually, however, as the miles increased, so did my feeling of unease.

'Oh fuuuuuuucccckkk!' I shrieked unexpectedly. With my thoughts focussed entirely on the landscape, I'd failed to notice a huge cow standing in the centre of the road. Swerving recklessly, my last, grateful thought was at least I'd managed to avoid hitting the animal. And then, there was darkness.
