Collision of Fate

Setting:

A busy intersection in the heart of the city, surrounded by towering buildings and bustling with the constant flow of traffic. David and Jamal sit in the front seats of a sleek sedan, their voices filled with laughter and light-hearted chatter as they make their way through the busy streets. The sun hangs low in the sky, casting long shadows across the pavement and painting the world in hues of gold and orange.

Characters:

David Charlie: The young boy who witnessed Jamal's suffering and vowed to make a difference, now seated behind the wheel of his car, his hands steady as he navigates through the chaotic city streets.

Jamal Smith: The 18-year-old black boy, still grappling with the trauma of his past enslavement, now seated beside David, his eyes bright with excitement as he watches the world pass by.

Scene:

The camera opens to David's car as it cruises through the bustling city streets, the sounds of honking horns and blaring sirens filling the air. David sits behind the wheel, his hands steady as he navigates through the chaotic traffic, while Jamal sits beside him, his eyes wide with wonder as he takes in the sights and sounds of the city.

David: (excitedly) Can you believe we're finally out exploring the city, Jamal? It feels like we've been cooped up at home forever.

Jamal: (enthusiastically) I know, right? It's so cool to see everything up close like this. Thanks for taking me out, Master David.

David smiles warmly at Jamal, his heart swelling with pride at the joy he sees reflected in his eyes.

David: (kindly) Of course, Jamal. You're a part of our family now, and that means you get to experience all the fun stuff too.

As they continue along their journey, the intersection ahead looms into view, a bustling hub of activity teeming with cars and pedestrians. David's grip tightens on the steering wheel as he prepares to navigate through the busy traffic.

David: (cautiously) Hold on tight, Jamal. We're coming up to the intersection.

Just as David begins to cross the intersection, a car comes speeding from the opposite direction, its driver paying little attention to the traffic signals. In a split second, the two cars collide with a deafening crash, sending shards of glass and twisted metal flying through the air.

Jamal: (panicked) Master David, are you okay?

David's head spins from the impact, his ears ringing with the sound of the collision. He glances down at his hand, his heart sinking as he sees blood dripping from where his finger used to be.

David: (grimacing) I... I think I lost a finger, Jamal. But don't worry about me. Are you hurt?

Jamal: (shakily) I... I don't think so, Master David. But... but what about the other car?

David: (frantically) We need an ambulance at the intersection of 5th and Elm Street. There's been a car accident, and... and people are hurt.

David: (urgently) Jamal, stay with me. Help is on the way.

Minutes later, paramedics arrive at the scene, their faces grim as they assess the situation. David is whisked away to receive medical attention for his injury, while Jamal watches from a distance, his heart heavy with guilt and sorrow.

Police Officer: (approaching Jamal) Can you tell me what happened here, son?

Jamal recounts the events leading up to the accident, his voice trembling with emotion as he describes the reckless actions of the other driver.

Jamal: (tearfully) It was... it was the other car, officer. They came out of nowhere and... and crashed into us. Master David tried to avoid them, but... but it happened so fast.

The police officer nods solemnly, jotting down notes in his notebook.
