An evening accident takes a wrecking ball to various families.

This piece presents a good description of the buildup of turmoil post car crash. The teenagers involved generate the denial and anger process in parental grieving for their perfect now broken children. The acceptance probably comes later.

There were some serene parts, the couple blissfully unaware, tucked up with a bottle of wine for security, before the police upend their lives. The hospital staff lining up for the organ donors and their grieving family was a nice humanistic touch.

This extract balances heavily on descriptive text, which may be because its the introduction, We do not reach a transition into character driven narrative, there isn't a single character with which to adhere to. As a result, we have a well written and interesting piece which Im not entirely sold due on due to the style. It is a heavy subject, but Im sure it will find its fans. There are certainly some morbid junkies who found this extract a delight.
