Rearview by Mike Dellosso is a short story in the 7 Hours multi-author shared-universe series of supernatural probably-moral dilemma suspense thriller tales centred on protagonists in sticky situations being contacted by a mysterious figure who offers them a choice of how to deal with their inevitable death, this installment starring a professor facing a false accusation who has a car accident as a result of turning to potentially unorthodox means of handling it, free courtesy of Christian publisher Tyndale House.
Apparently this has previously been offered free sometime in 2013, but doesn't seem to have been mentioned on MR at the time, so might as well treat it as a new offering for today, especially since it may have been some sort of pre-order/glitch freebie last time.

Description
In each installment of 7 Hours, a character is visited by the enigmatic Thomas Constant, who makes a heart-stopping statement: “You are about to die. But you may choose from one of three options: Live seven more hours, travel back in time and relive seven hours, or accept the inevitable and die now.”
Professor Dan Blakely has it all . . . until a false accusation leaves him in financial ruin with nothing to fall back on and little hope.
In a moment of desperation, he decides to do the unthinkable. But when he loses control of his SUV and careens down the side of a mountain, his plans take another turn.
Trapped beneath the frame of his mangled vehicle, Dan is visited by a mysterious stranger who offers him three choices. Filled with regret, Dan makes a decision . . . but little does he know that his troubles have only just begun.
The clock is ticking. What will you do with the time you have left?
