Episode 11: After the Screeching Halt



Lilian spotted Chiazo across the busy thoroughfare — her new friend from the supermarket a few weeks back. Heart leaping, she waved frantically. Chiazo’s response was distant, a stiff wave that barely registered.



Blinded by excitement, Lilian stepped off the curb. She didn’t look left. She didn’t look right.



The world erupted in the deafening blast of an air horn.



A massive trailer barreled toward her, its grill looming like a wall of steel. Lilian froze, boots glued to the asphalt, the acrid scent of burning rubber choking her lungs.



“Move!” Chiazo screamed, her voice slicing through panic.



The trailer screeched to a halt inches from Lilian, the tires smoking. Heat radiated from the engine, searing her skin. The driver climbed down, calm despite the near disaster.



“You’re alright. But you should have looked before stepping out,” he said evenly.



Chiazo stormed forward, her face flushed with anger rather than relief. Once on the sidewalk, the dam broke.
