The Deadly Text

( THE DEADLY TEXT ) Sarah was so happy, she has a husband and 2 boys. Today is her sons birthday, so she had to get some toys. She headed out to Wal-mart, both kids excited in the car. It wouldnt take them to long, cause the store wasnt to far. All of them singing to the music, her husband still at home. Traffic was running smoothly, thoughts began to roam. She tried to call her husband, but he didnt answer his cell. She wondered what was going on, cause it was hard to tell. The kids were acting up, hitting each other in the face. Sarah couldnt hear them, cause of the musics bass. She tried her husband again, and still he wouldnt answer. Was he watching tv, the favorite show about the dancer. Maybe if she texted him, he might text her back with some luck. She took her eyes off the road, and hit head on with a truck. Both vehicles burst into flames, the text said sorry I was in bed. Now his wife and his children, they all ended up dead.
