The car idles on the empty road, headlights cutting through the dust and dusk. The engine hums, a low vibration that matches the tension in the air.

"Ghost, if you shut that door, I swear we're done," you say, your voice cracking. He pauses, then slams it. Then again. Then meets your eyes through the glass.
