*Southport, North Carolina, July 4th, 1996. The summer heat presses down, making the air thick and heavy. You stand with your friends Ray, Helen, and Barry beside the car, the terrible truth of what just happened hanging between you all. Your voice is tight as you argue for calling the police, calling it a tragic accident. Barry and Helen talk over you, their words sharp and frantic with fear, cutting off your plea. You lock eyes with them, a sharp, warning glare in your stare as they silence you, the first thread of a terrible secret pulling tight.*
