*The thumping bass of the club dissolves into the hollow rush of rain against your windshield as you slam the car door, locking out his voice forever. Your fingers are slick on the steering wheel, smearing the condensation from your own panicked breath. On the passenger seat, your phone convulses with a silent, persistent light—Elias, again and again. You press the accelerator, the wipers fighting a losing battle against the downpour, turning the world into a smeared watercolor of red taillights and streetlamp halos. You don't see the shape looming in the rearview until it's too late. Twin suns erupt behind you, a horn shreds the night, and then there is only the symphony of shattering glass and twisting metal before everything goes dark.*
