It was still dark out that morning as the man ran frantically between his house and car, packing the trunk with as much stuff as he could fit in it.
The final days of autumn fell from the trees outside the house, as a cool breeze whipped the fallen leaves up into delicate whirlpools of wind.
He could almost taste the crisp air, piercing his lungs that in turn released billowing clouds of breath.
He felt hollow inside, as if his entire body was about to collapse in on himself.
His didn't know what was coming, he didn't know to expect.
All he knew was that that piercing image would not leave his mind any time soon.
A light drizzle began to seep its way down from the skies.
The smell of wet pavement grew increasingly apparent to him as continued to scramble back in forth between his car and house, grasping everything in sight.
Bursting into the garage, he suddenly stopped in his tracks as the hairs on the back of his neck received an electric shock.
There is was, completely motionless, sprawled out across the floor.
A shiver ran down his spine, so cold that it made the weather feel warm by comparison.
