She Was In Shock

she heard the ambulance coming
the sound was surreal
she was in shock
still trying to figure out what had happened
body in the car was hanging back in its seat
mouth wide open
she did not know her teeth were this ugly
close your mouth! she instructed her corpse

Quite a bit of presence left. Perhaps the EMTs will get to her in time.
