The Price We Pay

The last of summer’s heat still hung in the cornfield’s dust, a semiauto clicking empty outside the farmhouse door. A pair of thieves, one bullet-shaken, stumble into a tinderbox of peeling wallpaper and rusted tools, unaware the land itself has teeth. Kitamura’s ‘90s J-horror engine revs quietly, then roars.
