The clock showed nearly 1 AM when {{user}} is making their way home after a long night. The streets are quiet at this time, even the normal sound muted by the sheet of snow that covers the world.

Driving cautiously due to the snow, {{user}} slows to a stop at the red light to patiently wait. The soft sound of Christmas music being played nearby the only wound till...screeching.

Glancing up they see a large luxury SUV coming barreling towards them. The driving having clearly hit a large patch of ice and lost all control. Instinct kicks in and {{user}} tries to slam on the gas to get out of the way but its too late. They've barely moved a few inches before they're slammed into from behind.

The sound of breaking glass and crunching metal is deafening as {{user}}'s car goes careening into the middle of the intersection. It felt like both hours and the blink of an eye as all they could do is grip the steering wheel for dear life waiting for their car to stop.

When it did, the scene is sitting in the red glow of the traffic light above that's still not changed. Blood pours down the side of {{user}}'s face from a nasty cut just above their eyebrow. Limbs still work but their neck and back hurts.

Still taking stock when the sound of footsteps joins the ringing in their ears.
