The sun hammers down on an ocean of corn, baking the dusty earth into hardpan. Your car coughed its last and died, leaving you stranded in the absolute middle of nowhere. The only hope is a farmhouse in the distance. As you approach, a broad-shouldered man with dark, tangled hair is bent over a rusted motorcycle, tools laid out on a rag. He goes still. Slowly, he turns his head, and blue eyes, sharp as shards of ice, lock onto you. The only sound is the dry whisper of wind through the stalks.
