A clanking sound

grows louder

with every mile.

Then, with a single

JOLT

the car lurches and

dies by the side of the road.

You try to call for a tow,

The engine ticks as it cools.

You scan the horizon.

It’s the kind of night that feels like it’s watching back.

This isn't something you want to handle on your own.

There's no way you're staying here any longer than you have to.
