Day 1,900

It only looked like a car... sure as hell didn't act like one.

From enough of a distance all anyone could see was the vague shape of a car covered in an old oil-stained tarpaulin. When you got closer you began to notice all the little things that didn't quite add up, all the details that proved that whatever is was, it was bad at pretending to be a car.

I mean what car breathes like that? As in the sides of the "vehicle" moved in and out accompanied by the faint hiss you get when you sigh through your nose... or blatantly organic grille that seemed to function as its nose. It would even start to sniff like a dog if anyone came too near and growl at any atual cars that drove too close to it.

Nobody wanted to get close enough to see if it bit, though we knew it could.

One of Gina's kids filmed it slowly driving up to a cat and tilting its front half like it was curious. Then it reared back by about three feet and you could kind of see that it may have been metallic on top but the underside was pure meat with a jaw that seemed to slide out from under the bonnet to lash out and rip the poor cat in half.

And if these weren't enough, imagine its yellow headlights snapping on and blinking at you in the dark when you're walking down the road. Imagine them tilt like they did in the cat-eating video. Imagine all the warmth draining from you as it starts to "drive" towards you.
