Night swallowed the dark road as Meryl and Roberto’s old car sputtered to a halt. Uneven noises rattled the floor, amplifying the tension. The engine died abruptly. Meryl, confused and irritated, whispered, “What just happened?” Roberto nodded silently, exiting the vehicle. Meryl remained in the driver’s seat, surrounded by darkness, illuminated only by scattered headlights. She trusted Roberto, yet the shrinking space and penetrating cold made her shiver. A cough escaped her as she checked her reflection. Doubt crept in until a rumble on the roof silenced her thoughts. Her heart pounded. “Roberto...?” she whispered. Only gloomy silence answered. Uneasy, she exited the car. Something strange appeared, widening her eyes in shock.
