The Erratic

A young woman happily drives along a country road, with her baby in the back seat. When the steering wheel suddenly begins to shake, the woman knows something is wrong with her car. She pulls into the nearest driveway where she confirms that she has a flat tire. When she realizes that she doesn’t have a tire jack, she looks to the house close by. Leaving her sleeping baby in the car, she strides across a field toward the house. About halfway across the field a gunshot rings out!
She immediately takes cover behind a lone boulder in the field, a glacial ‘erratic’. Another shot rings out, and we reveal an older man, in sniper position, at one of the house windows. He is intent upon taking shots at the incoming ‘enemy.’ The young woman is now in fear for the life of her child and of hers. She has got to get back to her car somehow.
