Summary
He was aware that there was a man shouting, sirens in the distance. The car around him was dim, and damp… and cold, but it was solid. He was at an odd angle, being held against the seat but dangling towards the drivers side somewhat. With great effort, he focused his eyes on the blurry world.
Where the driver's door should be, there wasn’t. There wasn’t a door, or even anything left of a car. There was only dark, wet night.

There was no glass in the front door, no peephole. It was probably as old as the house. He tugged the curtain back from where it lay across the door, a simple method to try and keep out the drafts, and glanced down as his sock felt a sudden wetness.
That was blood.
Pooling under the door.
Vessel yanked open the door and leapt back as the slumped body of a young woman came crashing onto the stone floor of the hallway.

or, everyone really needs a hug; memories of the past play out in dreams; everyone sort of ignores the warning signs until they can't take it anymore; and at the centre of it all - a mysterious woman who literally falls into their lives half alive.
