The cables snapped and the concrete gave in as the crescendo of cars' horns honked and blared into one continuous noise. Cars crashed into each other and people jumped over and onto each other in an attempt to get out and the bridge lurched downwards.
The center of the bridge began to bend in place. It cracked and broke and bits and pieces of it fell off into the abyss below. Children screamed and their mothers cried and their fathers were silent. We ran to the center of the bridge. A school bus stood alone at the very center of it.
We ran into the bus and began to ferry children out of it. We tried to awaken the unmoving bus driver but he was clearly dead. We saw ourselves in the school bus mirror and we weren't us.
When we realized this fact the bridge collapsed and the school bus plunged into the abyss.
