“It’s so nice, you’ll never want to leave. I guarantee it.” That’s what the owner told me when I came by the property to observe it, check it out.

I opened my eyes to an upside-down steering wheel looking back at me, broken glass from the shattered windshield encrusting the inside of the car like glittering stars. I could feel my short hair barely brushing the ceiling down below me, my seat belt digging into my collarbone, the only thing keeping me from smashing into the inside ceiling of the car. I was hanging, upside down, in the driver’s seat of my crashed SUV.The darkness of nighttime made it hard for me to get my bearings, so I resorted to fumbling with my hands for the latch...
