The Driver

Chicago midnight. Headlights cutting through snow-glare on a Chevette’s grille. The Driver slides through exits unseen, always one corner ahead of the siren chorus. A detective stakes his badge on one last collar, trading pardons for a gang’s betrayal. Tight, mean streets where every turn feels like the last.
