We walked about fifteen minutes before we heard an oncoming car. Corey stepped into the middle of the road. A pickup whipped around the curve. Corey waved his arms. The guy in the pickup laid on his horn and veered past, sending Corey stumbling as his bad knee gave way. Daniel and I helped him up. "Oww…," he said. "There'd have been a bigger if he hadn't swerved," I said.
In the scene, the characters are walking along a road when they suddenly hear an approaching vehicle. Corey, one of the group, impulsively steps into the street, trying to signal the driver of a nearby pickup truck. However, the driver reacts by honking loudly and swerving to avoid Corey, which causes him to lose his balance due to a previous knee injury.
After the near accident, Daniel and I assist Corey as he expresses his pain. I reflect on how the situation could have been much worse if the driver hadn't reacted quickly. This moment emphasizes the risks they face and highlights Corey's vulnerability due to his injury.
