Six Sentence Sunday!

This is my first time participating in Six Sentence Sunday. In case the name doesn't explain it, Six Sentence Sunday is a blog hop that posts every Sunday morning. Writers posts six sentences of their choosing. I have decided to use this as a chance to give people a six sentence sneak peak at my new story, Shades of Night: Perfect Village, before it publishes. Here it is:

As the garage door slowly rolled up, creaking with an incessant chatter, Flynn noticed the dark sedan’s lights were on. He fired up his car, which at first sputtered sickly and then began to roar with only a slight cough. Slowly at first, Flynn backed out of his driveway as he closed the creaking garage door. Flynn looked at the dark sedan in his mirror for a minute, and then he punched the gas and jerked the wheel, sending his car flying backwards into the road. Flynn switched gears and slammed on the gas again, jerking his car forward so hard it began to fishtail and a cloud of smoke kicked up behind it. The dark sedan spun around in pursuit of his car, smoke pouring from its tires as well.
