CHAPTER 123: THE BRINK OF DESPERATION
THE BRINK OF DESPERATION
With a burst of raw survival instinct, you drive your shoulder into the driver, sending him stumbling backward. The momentum catapults you forward, your heart thundering like a war drum in your chest. For an eternal moment, you’re airborne—a fleeting figure against the backdrop of a collapsing world.
You land hard on the other side, rolling to absorb the impact, as the platform where you stood moments ago crashes into the abyss with an earth-shattering roar. Dust and debris fill the air, a choking testament to what nearly claimed you.
The driver scrambles to his feet, a mixture of fury and relief etched across his face. "You could've killed me!" he shouts, though the gratitude in his eyes betrays his words. No time for apologies or arguments. Behind him, the terrain is treacherous, a maze of fractured earth and collapsing structures.
As the dust settles, the canyon's true danger becomes evident—massive cracks spiderweb across the ground, threatening to widen with each tremor. You both need to escape, but the path is perilous, and the shift in the Earth's crust is relentless.
A deafening crack echoes as a nearby section of the bridge succumbs to gravity, the sound followed by the unnerving silence of anticipation. Your next move needs to be decisive, lest you find yourselves in the same fate as the truck.
