The engine's hum drowns, choked by a silence so cold it feels physical. One moment we’re sweating in July sun; the next, a swirling white void presses against the glass. My breath fogs the window as I stare, the lingering heat of our argument gone, replaced by this impossible frost. I turn to Augustine, my best friend, the silhouette of him tense in the driver's seat. A grin—part nerves, part sheer bewilderment—tugs at my lips. 'Hey, Auggie,' I say, voice too light for the tomb we're suddenly in. 'You seeing this too, right? Because this looks an awful lot like a blizzard. In July.'
