The vibrant colors of the morning felt muted, the air thick with an unsettling quiet. Maria stood paralyzed, staring at the empty patch of asphalt. Her pulse quickened. A cold shiver coursed down her spine.

She chewed on her lip, a nervous tic. Her mind raced, a whirlwind of anxieties and unanswered questions. The world tilted beneath her feet.
