Extract:

The waning moon set, casting the forest into gloomy shadow. Jules’ headlights bounced over the rough road, the jouncing kept her awake by snapping her chin up and down in rhythm to the washboard. Gravel ground under her tires. She held her sedan through the hairpin turn. Movement to the left caught her eye. She focused on the trees. Her tire bounced on a large rock jerking the car toward the ravine. Jules slammed the brakes, the vehicle slid. She careened toward the other edge and bumped against a tree. The tire popped and the car sank.
