It was a dark but calm night. The street lights cast dark shadows into places that otherwise would seem safe.
He thumbed the remote in his hand as he approached the van. It was parked as always; slightly askew on the concrete pad in front of the house.
He wasn't really keen on driving it. He knew the windows would be fogged and the engine and fan together would take their time about clearing it. Still, it wasn't a bad van. Better than the car they used to own.
The fact that he had dug out the whole area the van was parked in always made him realise what a difference he had made to the place. Not to mention the large tree he had single handedly dug out and put on the trailer.
The van flashed it's indicators as it should to confirm it was now unlocked and the engine enabled. He walked around the front of the van and into the shadows reaching for the door handle.
His heart leap to his mouth, hands recoiling in horror.
It was back!
