1.      Pine needles sprinkled down like confetti.

2.                                    -prom closed with reflective confetti.

3.      Scattered rocks that shine         [        motor oil.]

4.                                    -black out/black liquid, everyone has different prom nights.

5.      [deafening.    ]  Windshield vaporized. 

6.                                   -Can glass be confetti?

7.      Antlers disappear into the door [        velvet versus sheet metal.]

8.                                   -Bambi?

9.      [yelling.         ] Dad calls

10.                              -what the hell happened?

11.  [stuck.           ]  Satin dress braided around the accelerator.

12.                             -what day of the week is it?

13.  Blue and red stars blinking.

14.                             -have you been drinking?

15.              no     

16.   [crimson.      ]  Shaded stains around uneven pupils.

17.                            -is it okay? 

18.   Fawn fur draped against bent angles [         metal versus nature.]

19.   [static          .] young adult female

20.          [broken               .] single vehicle accident

21.                           -is the deer okay?      [silence         .]
