My hands tightened, my eyes closed and that is when it happened. All I did was looked at one little text and that is all it took. A life has been lost, and it is my entire fault. It was all a blur. I was going too fast. I did not see the light. I am sorry for this mess. I am alive but someone is not. I wanted to say sorry so many times. But now it is too late I took one deep breath and let it all out. I screamed so loud I could not stop. All of a sudden it went up in flames.
