The Mini completed one last flip before losing momentum, finally stopping upside down, rocking slightly back and forth before coming to a complete stop. Its wheels pointed skyward, still spinning, while smoke billowed out front under the smashed hood.
Inside, its two passengers hung upside down, held up only by their seatbelts, and trapped by the smashed roof.
Jenny awoke with a start, looking around in bleary confusion. If she didn’t know better, she’d think the house was shaking around her. As her laptop suddenly slid off the desk and fell to the floor, its screen cracking, she realized that the house really was shaking.
She did what anyone would naturally do: she panicked. Do I get up? Do I stay here? Where do I go? What do I do? She wondered all of these things, her muscles tense with fear.
A small piece of plaster fell onto the desk in front of her, breaking up into tiny pieces. Jenny threw her hands over her head and leapt up, knocking the chair down behind her, where it fell onto a crack in the floor. Keeping her hands over her head, she threw herself beneath the desk, huddling there in terror. She kept her eyes shut tightly, her hands over her head, as she tried to keep from hyperventilating.
And so she sat there, curled into a ball under the wooden desk, until the shaking miraculously stopped. Cautiously, Jenny peeked her head out, astounded at the destruction before her. She stayed on the floor, unsure of what to do now, and if the shaking had really stopped for good.
Jenny wrapped her arms around her knees and slowly rocked back and forth, trying to calm herself. In the dim fog of her mind, she heard shouts from a familiar voice: Bette. Her head jerked up. She was okay, but what Bette, Tina, and Angelica?
Without even thinking, she leapt up and picked her way toward the door. When she reached the front door, she paused, casting a look behind her. Sniffing the air experimentally, Jenny took a careful step along the outside of the house. She thought she smelled smoke. When she turned the corner of the house, she was met with an unpleasant surprise, and her worst fears were confirmed. A medium sized fire had broken out on the side of the house and was spreading. “*****!” she shouted, sprinting back toward the house for a fire extinguisher.
