“Faster!” Tom demanded. “I’m going as fast as I can!” Polly yelled back at him. She could barely walk, her leg was hurting like it was about to fall off and tears was falling down her face. Not just because of the snakebite, but also because of the fact that Tom just proposed to her. And he was drunk! Despite the quite chocking question, she couldn’t think of anything else but the burning bite. “I’ll drive you to the hospital. You need to get some antidote. Now!” Tom was dead serious and the wicked grin on his face, had become a narrow straight line under his nose. He was defiantly not joking anymore.
Tom got Polly in the car, closed the door and went over to the other side. He was sweating and shaking all over when he turned the car key. The car started and he drove away from the Silver Lake.
Everything rattled and bounced as they drove on the bumpy road to the hospital. It was a rough trip and with minutes to save Polly’s life, the car almost left a line of fire behind it. Tom had trouble controlling the car in his drunken condition and once in a while he had to save the car back into the right side of the road. Polly was starting to shake and her clothes was already soaking wet, from her heavy sweating. As Tom sat there behind the steering wheel, he began to think of what trouble he was going to be in when Polly’s parents found out about it. They would kill him, if not worse. What was he thinking? He had to be crazy, he said for himself. Suddenly he felt sick. The combination of alcohol, bumpy roads and guilt does not exactly give the best results. Tom felt the knot in his stomach, slowly moving up towards his throat, and all of sudden the puke was everywhere. In bare confusion he let go of the steering wheel and the car immediately turned, and when the car reached the point where the rims had been faced forward, the car tipped. It began rolling uncontrollably in incredibly high speed. The car roof got more and more squeezed, every time the car took a turn, until it suddenly stopped and everything became quiet.
