The car bustled down the endless highway with two innocent passengers: my sister and me. Our father watched from outside, his body overcome with fear. The animated vehicle continued forward, pressing on, without a driver. A sinister grin stretched across the front of the vehicle, and it had one intention: to drive as far away as possible. I looked back to see my father. He had fallen to his knees, tears streaming down his dumbstruck face.
As the hellish journey continued, my sister and I quickly realized the danger we were in. However, there was no escape--the doors were locked; the windows were sealed. We became content with our ultimate fate, and we started to brace for the worst. And then suddenly, an inkling came over me.
I moved to the front seat of the vehicle. The grim animation swerved to the right and then to the left, in an attempt to unbalance me. But I was determined. I jumped into the driver's seat, closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and pushed my foot down with as much power as possible. The car tried to resist, but it could not overcome the force. Smoke shot out, and rubber burned in the air. The vehicle slowed, trying with all its might to propel us forward--until finally, the tires stopped turning.
I relaxed my arms around the wheel and let out a sigh of relief.
I gradually opened my eyes. Above me, I gazed into a dark surface with glowing stars floating throughout it.
Where am I?
I looked to my right. The clock read: 12:01 AM.
I rolled over and snatched my pillow. Drowsiness consumed me, and I drifted back into the dreamscape once more.
