And just like that, all the air gets sucked right out of the car.

I cough out a laugh, more strained than I want it to be, more fuckin' terrified. Jesus Christ. Sucking in a breath, I pop open the door, climbing out onto the sidewalk before I can stop myself, 'cause in there... In there I can't fuckin' breathe.

I've got another cigarette fished out of my pocket, lit and immediately sucking on it like I need it to fuckin' survive. Standin' on the goddamn sidewalk in bare fuckin' feet, like an asshole.

"Fuck," I mutter around the filter between my lips, ducking inside to grab my shoes and dropping them onto the sidewalk to I can step into them.
