The girl didn’t die instantly, unlike the mother in the other car. The girl’s last moments were instead filled with agony as her life slipped around the branch that had broke through the side window and pierced her windpipe. He regards

    Once upon a time, there lived a boy. Although he went to a good school, he was not a good student, for he spent all his hours and all his days on the computer playing video games, enveloped in his own world. From the moment school ended until early in the morning, he would sit at his desk for hours and hours on end, pushing away his study material away and promising completion, but to no avail.
