Angels In the Night

I can remember it like it was yesterday..... Listening to a hard rock "all-night" radio station, boppin' back from college to my hometown in the middle of the night, on an endless two-lane highway, in the middle of nowhere. Up around the curve, my headlights engulfed a scene I'll never forget....... What looked like three or four cars (to this day I'm not sure) smashed, crumpled and twisted in burning smoke, completely blocking the road..... Slamming on my brakes, I skidded to a stop, trying to process what I was witnessing, I pulled up a few feet closer in my car and unrolled my window.... Burnt shredded metal filled my nostrils with the scent of death, and not a sound...... The silence terrified me...... I started to get out of my car........ Then, from the bowels of the horror, a voice whispered to me "don't stop! go for help" Numb, I got back in my car..... that's when the wreck of cars parted, and a path was created to pass through! I drove to the next exit and had the clerk call 911, giving them directions to the crash......I drove on into the night, fumbling for a radio station. _____________________________
