Fear Sets In

Three minutes pass and still he makes no reaction. Danielle frozen with fear just sits there wide-eyed in disbelief. Her muscels tense up and her mind goes cold. Time seems to slow down, almost in freeze frame mode.

Danielle is powerless as she observes the car drift to the shoulder. Her mind struggles to take it all in. Her body is still locked down from the shock.

Martin was experiencing the same kind of paralyzing shock that she was. He struggled to gain control of the car. But everything seems to be happening in some distorted fashion. Time for them seemed to slow down to the smallest form. Meanwhile the two of them are just helpless observers. Thier minds shout instructions to thier bodies. But the body is too frozen in shock and fear, to respond to such commands.

Before either of them could react,they notice a blinding light coming twoard them. It was hard to distinguish what it was. It made seeing anything incredibly difficult. It is impossible to see beyond the light.
