The sun was a merciless copper coin in a bleached sky, baking the dirt of the village lane. A sudden shadow fell as a long, black car purred to a stop before the old house where you lived, its polished chrome glaring against the faded wood.

The air, once filled with the buzz of cicadas, went silent and heavy, charged with the arrival of a storm the quiet world had not asked for.
