The countryside is quiet, the grass, an emerald shade of swirling patterns as a gentle country breeze picks up the fallen Autumn leaves and sends them spiraling towards the solitary brickwork cottage perched atop the gentle rise of the grassy hill.
The cottage is almost silent, the soft braying of cattle and the click-clack of typewriter keys drifting on the air, the only sounds that gently suspend the silence.
In sharp contrast to the quaint, old-world feel of the cottage, a fire-engine-red 1966 ford mustang rests quietly in the long driveway, a beast waiting in repose, seemingly sensing the inevitable moment when it will once again come roaring to life, knowing that moment is never far away.
