DEEP
The Jeep swerved back and forth. Eric did his best to drive ahead of the gang chasing them.
But they were not going to stop the chase. Not even as they approached a cliff.
Eric looked at Sam. He told her to trust him. With tears in her eyes, she gave a nod & their car went over the cliff.
The car went flying into the air before making a SPLASH into the frigid waters. Eric held his breath and tried to make his way out of the Jeep, the door didn’t even budge. He pushed it and a flood of the sea water flowed into the car.
He pulled Sam’s hand and did his best to hold her tight. As soon as he was almost reaching the top of the water, he slowly lost his firm grip around Sam.
Eric gripped her hand~ tighter & tighter- until he felt her let go. He pushed himself, diving toward her...her body sank into the water and he could not hold his breath under water for much longer..
His head rose from the water and he gasped for air. He looked around to see if the coast was clear. He dived back into the water to see if he could spot Sam’s body. Nothing. She was gone.
