Let's be a horror film!

I'm the late afternoon sun shining through the trees. I tell you that while things may seem fine for the protagonist now, danger lurks at dusk.

We're the retired locals who congregate in front of the gas station/general store as the protagonist fills up her tank. One of our more vocal members foretells impending danger, but there is something off about us, and she does not heed our warning.

I am the deserted farmhouse the oh-so-hip teenagers with $1000s of camera equipment visit. Realizing I am a time capsule, they take photos of everything and discuss stealing a few knickknacks. In me, every movement, every interaction, every door closing is pregnant with tension and suspense. From the back porch, the idiots spy another abandoned farmhouse and head toward it. That house is not as innocent as I am.
