I witness all this while on the edge of my seat. My mouth is hanging wide agape now. The accident leads to a buildup of traffic that once just blocks off one lane, to causing one of the biggest traffic jams of the week.
From my periphery at least, the two drivers are relatively unscathed. But I cannot be sure of the safety of the other drivers and passengers, who might collide with the accident. The ruthless burning flames spread to the second car but it does not explode immediately.
Then someone hits the front car with force from far behind. Drivers of all sorts come out of their cars to argue and horn. It is utter chaos.
Had I been on the left lane, I will not be alive now. It is a miracle and a blessing in disguise that I turn on autopilot because I normally drive on the leftmost lane due to my slow speed.

I turn back to face the incident scene, it is growing smaller and smaller by the second. Yet the flames and smoke fills the sky around it. Autopilot huh, I thought. It actually saved my life.
My mundane early morning turned into being straight out of a movie scene. I am not pleased, as I hated surprises with a passion. I take the wheel manually now as I was shaken by the accident. I reach the second last exit of the highway, where my destination is.
But first I have to address my growling tummy. I went into the nearest fast food chain, which happens to be a Burger King. In this world, Burger King is pleasantly good and surprisingly delicious. I drive into a long queue of early breakfast patrons and eagerly wait for my turn.
The sumptuous smell of Burger King breakfast bagels and pancakes fills the air. I almost drool in anticipation of the food. It smells absolutely fantastic.
The signboards on the front of the chain is brightly lit and colourfully displayed.
