Chapter 1

There was too much noise. Sirens blaring and light flashing. Its was all very annoyingly loud. Loud radio chatter, the creaking of metals being stressed and de-stressed, the blaring sound of the car’s horn. Can’t a person just die in peace. Caden Kastler could feel his life ending. It wasn’t getting brighter. There were no memories flashing away quickly. And it definitely wasn’t peaceful. Everything was just too damn loud.

It had been a long drive home from meeting his daughter. Little Sandra ‘Sandy’ Kastler was just starting to walk. The smile she held when she finally saw new opportunities that would come from being able to walk. That four toothed smile was an image that would be forever imprinted into Caden’s brain. His dying brain. Hi dying body. His dead soul.

“Sir! SIR! Can you hear me? SIR.” The emergency first respondent trying his best to get Caden focused on him. Caden just wanted to die in peace. After all, he wouldn’t be alive after two more minutes. Caden decided to look at the person shouting at his face, painfully turning his head in the process. “Sir, we’re going to get you out of the car. We’re going to cut the rail that is pinning you to the seat first. DON’T MOVE.”
