I come to behind the wheel. God, not again. I promised her I wouldn’t drink anymore. Everything looks funny- the speed limit says 100. Have I ever seen that before? Bright light. Do I go towards it? Unless that’s… a semi truck. I can’t turn. It starts coming back to me… I killed the driver. The family in the minivan behind me. A mom and dad, two little girls in the back seat. The cops pulled me out of the wreckage. They put me in this room. Then everything goes dark. I come to behind the wheel. God, not again.
