The Girl on the Car

Chapter 3
The silence did not last.
It fractured first into whispers, then into commentary, then into a low, continuous murmur that wrapped itself around the scene. People stopped at the edges of the street, drawn by the alarm, by the wrecked Bugatti, by the impossible sight of a body lying where no body should be.
They did not touch her.
They watched.
Phones came out almost immediately, lifted with a strange confidence, as if the act of recording granted permission. Screens glowed in the dark, framing her from above, from the side, from too close. The ruined car. The unmoving girl. The single detail that refused to stay still.
Her shoe continued to sway.
The heel of her foot had slipped free entirely now. A torn stocking clung to her ankle, its fabric laddered and frayed, stretched thin where it had caught on the edge of the shoe. Her bare heel protruded rosy and exposed, motionless except for the slight pull of gravity, while the shoe rocked gently back and forth from her toes.
The movement was small. Constant. Hypnotic.
Someone zoomed in.
“Get that,” a voice said quietly.
“Jesus,” someone else murmured.
“That’s ... unreal.”
Photos were taken in bursts. Videos recorded, stopped, recorded again. A few people spoke as if narrating, filling the silence with speculation.
“She’s not moving.”
“She looks staged.”
“That car—do you know how much that costs?”
“Is she even real?”
