As she drove slowly through the snowfall, Willow realized that she didn’t like snow anymore. When she was a kid, she thought she would never get tired of the pretty white flakes but now, when she was an adult and had to go to work regardless, Willow didn’t like it. It made the roads slippery and since Willow wasn’t the most confident driver, that alone made her more anxious. And she didn’t even have the benefit of playing in it.

It didn’t help either when-

Honk!

Willow’s heart skipped a beat when a black car suddenly skidded from the opposite lane and was now heading right towards her. In a strange moment of clarity, Willow realized that the honk was a warning as the black car moved in a way that suggested it was trying to stop or at least avoid her.

But Willow knew better than to leave everything solely up to the black car driver.

So with a prayer in her mind, Willow quickly turned her wheel all the way to the right. As a result, she drove off the road and avoided the black car.

However, while the black car managed to gain back control and was on the correct lane again, Willow drove straight into a snow bank.

Her heart still beating irregularly, Willow got out of her car and realized that if it wasn’t for the snow bank, she would have crashed into a light pole.

Willow’s feelings were mixed, to say the least.

    Those mixed stories are so heart-wrenching! My brother rolled a car in the ice and managed to roll into the only tree on the whole hillside. If he hadn't hit the tree, he would have ended up in a lake...

    Who knows if it's good luck or bad luck? 😁 Smashing rollercoaster of a story!

    Snow can be treacherous. I'm glad Willow avoided a collision.
