  1. Whatever it was, there wasn't any evidence of a disaster near the airport and town other than the grim stillness.
  2. As he approached the exit to his home, Brewer thought he saw some smoke in the distance. Could that be it? Was it a downed plane?
  3. There were no clues that anything was wrong other than the abandoned streets--Brewer didn't see a single person.
  4. As he raced down the highway, Brewer considered calling his wife. But it wasn't even five AM, and he knew his family were still asleep.
  5. Still, with radio out and emergency crews occupied he needed to be with his family. Besides, he thought as he looked up, no one's flying.
  6. I better get home, Brewer thought. He wasn't worried about his family--whatever happened occurred before he left, and all was quiet then.
  7. It was pure, as if the radio stations were broadcasting a never-ending moment of silence. At once, Brewer knew--it was a terror attack.
  8. What Brewer didn't expect is what he heard--silence. What made it even more eerie was that it wasn't the staticy radio silence he expected.
  9. As he turned the radio on, a terrorist attack clearing the streets and occupying emergency vehicles were his first thought.
  10. Brewer removed his iPod earbuds, shoved them into a pocket, and returned to his car. Maybe there would be news on the radio.
  11. And where were the people? Granted, it was 4 AM, but he should have seen SOMEONE. Maybe there was a tragedy nearby, Brewer thought.
  12. Obviously there were no police or rescue vehicles, but where was the traffic? Brewer realized he hadn't seen one car on the road.
  13. As he tried to understand what had happened, other things started to enter his consciousness. Things he hadn't noticed before.
  14. Looking for a pulse, it took a few moments before Brewer realized that her skin was cold. "Jesus, how long has she been dead?" he thought.
  15. The person was apparently thrown from the car, and Brewer quickly pulled up near her. Moving quickly, he parked and ran to the woman
  16. As he approached the wreck, he knew he had to stop. There were no emergency vehicles, and a body was lying next to one of the cars.
  17. Brewer didn't have time to feel guilty about the previous wreck when he saw another one ahead involving two cars mangled in the right lane.
  18. He left a message about the wreck location, debating whether to turn around and go back to help. No, he thought, I can't miss this flight.
  19. The phone rang but almost immediately jumped to voicemail. Why bother with a 911 system if no one answers, a disgusted Brewer thought.
  20. There were none and he clearly saw a body slumped over the steering wheel as he passed. Feeling guilty for not stopping, Brewer dialed 911.
