The morning sun reflected in the empty space where her car had been, and it seemed to mock her. A low, continuous hum filled her ears, even though the street was silent. She felt it, a premonition.

She went into the kitchen. She felt like she was trapped. She closed the blinds, then sat in the dark. She needed to figure out what was happening, to understand why.
