" . . . The peacocks stood at the end of her street. A ghostly white-feathered peacock approached her car. In her fear, she stalled the car. She tried to start the engine, but it wouldn't turn over. She tried again and again. The phantom bird came closer and closer. The key broke in the ignition. She was trapped. It was now at the driver's side window. It pecked its long beak on the glass. Sweat began to pour down the woman's back. She knew it was only a matter of time before the bird would smash the window with its powerful beak and drag her through and onto the cold, black pavement. She screamed for help. No one came. The woman cursed the trappers for failing to do their job properly. Now the end was near. The peacocks had won. . . . "

You could become a thriller writer. It's that good.

Oh, I think not. I almost started it with: "It was a dark and stormy night."
