prologue

It's a dark, frozen night in the dead of winter. The street is deserted. Suddenly a car speeds by.

A handsome, teenage boy sits behind the wheel. He drives fast. As the car rushes past the streetlights they light up the inside of his car with a series of flashes. On, off, on, off, the flashes of light shine on the wheel. The teenager grips the wheel with one white-knuckled hand. The cuff of his shirt is bright red. On, off, on, off.

Snow begins to fall, lightly at first, then heavier and heavier. The boy flicks on the windshield wipers. They move at high speed, but the windshield jams up with snow anyway.

Tick tick tick tick . . . What's that sound? Is it the wipers?

No. It's something else. What?

The boy keeps his eyes on the road. His face is drawn, tense. He looks worried.

Tick tick tick tick . . .

Why doesn't he hear that sound? What is it?
