So here is my attempt at some flash fiction based on a real accident. Every so often I’ll troll the headlines in Vegas papers for crashes and other automobile news to create a piece of flash fiction. I give myself 30 minutes to come up with a story. Please enjoy!

“Ok so like last night I call up Jason and I’m like ‘Omigod hi Jason!’”
“What’d he say?”
“He was like ‘Hi Jen’”
“And you said?”
“I said hi again. We like said hi for like five minutes, haha!”

“Hey driver watch it! You almost hit that SUV!”
“He smells like the Double Down.”
“What do you know about the Double Down?”

“Ew, that place smells like bacon and tequila.”
“Jennifer! What did Jason say?”
“Oh yeah, so…SHIT!”

“Jen? Jen? JENNY?! Omigod, she’s bleeding! Someone help!”

“Here, tie this strap around your arm to your ruler.”
“Wha? What happened?”
“The bus crashed and your arm got caught between the seat and the wall.”
“Shit, dude. Thanks Doogie.”
“Shut up, dude. I’m gonna help the others.”

“She’s bleeding from her head…she’s, she’s not saying anything.”
“What’s her name?”
“Jennifer. Is she going to be ok?”
“I…I don’t know. The paramedics should be here soon.”
“Didn’t you help that other guy?”
“Yeah I did ok but I’m not a doctor. I can’t…I can’t bandage head injuries.”
“Ok, ok. Sorry. What should we do?
“Wait and don’t panic.”
