Every color of the rainbow fell from the sky. Except for red – red was the hardest one to cut down. The multi-colored rain fell down through the canopy, leaving behind their crimson residue and splashing down amongst the rest of the mud.

Addie looked at her watch showing the perfectly correct time. Jed looked at his watch, displaying the same time down to the second. “An hour left until midnight, we’ll still make it,” He gripped the steering wheel and pushed the gas pedal harder. Addie got pushed back in her seat from the sudden acceleration. “If you left a little earlier this wouldn’t have happened,” their mother’s tone beamed with pride at the profoundness of her wisdom. The truck got another jolt of speed. The uneven country road jostled the truck back and forth with the ...
