Reply #7: That happened to a friend of mine [View All]

We were outside playing, and her drunken step dad called to her to come home. We were about the same age as the girl in the story. A few minutes later I saw her, looking scared to death in the driver's seat, weaving down the road. She turned the corner and we heard a crash; she'd gone right into a neighbor's fence. No one was serous hurt, thank God. But, I'll never forget the look on her face, and the sense of dread I felt as I watched her drive by, her eyes peering over her hands clutching the steering wheel. She told us later he just wanted to get a pack of cigarettes.
