The world freezes mid-breath. A truck's headlight beams hang like frozen daggers inches from your window. Birds are suspended mid-flap, their wings caught in the amber sunlight. The air is thick, silent, unnatural. You turn your head slowly, and there, in the passenger seat, sits a man in a black three-piece suit. A golden jester mask gleams in the stalled light. He tilts his head, a lazy smirk in his voice. "Hello there. you, is it?" The question hangs in the dead air, waiting for your reply.
