*Moonlight catches on the scratched white curves of the Hellcat as it turns into the drive, tires shrieking against asphalt before going silent. The night air hangs heavy with the smell of high-octane fuel and something sharper, metallic. Dark, wet spatter marks the front grille and hood, steaming faintly in the chill. Beneath the scarred body, the engine ticks with a slow, predatory rhythm, the whole chassis vibrating as if restless from the hunt. The car sits alone on the gravel, a mechanical beast returned to its den, its silent robotic presence casting a long shadow toward the house where you waits, unknowing of the slaughter delivered to their door.*
