Every time hope seemed within reach, the car would accelerate away.
Finally, Jarrod’s strength ebbed, and he crumpled to the ground, his knees bearing the brunt.
Struggling to place his hand on the pavement, he attempted to rise, but the alcohol-induced deluge of hallucinations clouded his mind with countless phantoms.
The blue car came to a halt.
When the door swung open, a pair of long, slender legs descended, clad in black high heels, and approached Jarrod.
The black heels paused before Jarrod.
Jarrod’s face remained plastered to the ground. He lifted his gaze ever so slightly, tracing from her slender legs to the captivating countenance of the woman.

His mouth was tinged with blood, his voice raw and ragged.
The blue luxury car’s taillight flickered before him, casting a more pitiful shadow upon him.
“Stay.” His plea was engulfed by the car’s roaring departure. “Please don’t leave me…”
Tears welled up in Jarrod’s eyes and streamed down his cheeks as he screamed into the wind.
Yet, there was no response.
