  Twelve full moons had passed since they found the gruesome scene in the woods. No one was truly sad in regards to the mangled woman who died that night - twisted inside and out at last. They liked her daughter too much.

A sleek, familiar black car was a couple feet from her, having skidded on ice. The driver was shocked.
