HEARTLAND RANCH
The sky splits open.Thunder rolls low and heavy across the valley, rain slamming into the earth in relentless sheets. Wind tears through the trees, bending branches, rattling fences, turning the quiet land wild.Out on a dark stretch of road, headlights cut through the storm.A truck pushes forward against it—wipers fighting, tires slipping against wet gravel. In the back, the sound of a horse thrashing echoes through the metal frame, panic building with every crack of thunder.The storm isn’t just outside.It’s everywhere.The road curves. Too fast.Too slick.Tires lose grip.The world lurches.Metal screams.Glass shatters.And then—nothing.Rain continues to fall, softer now, almost indifferent.The truck sits twisted along the roadside, one headlight flickering weakly against the storm. Steam curls into the cold air. The horse amy and her mother rescued neighs in the back. The steady beep of machines.The sterile stillness of a hospital room.Voices, distant at first.Then clearer.
