...just for the sake of macabre. I love macabre!


Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura drove through the brightly lit down town in their Bently. That March, the city was covered in a thin layer of snow, even though the weather had been surprisingly warm. This made the streets filthy and muddy. Their Bently was caked in mud and was too disgusting to touch.

"Hey Yumi, can you go through a car wash? My hands are dirty, and the car needs a good washing," winced Ami. By only slamming her door shut, her hands were stained in dirt.

"Yeah, it really does. This weather is horrible. I think there's one around that corner," she pointed out. Yumi steered their car through the next exit and paused the car in front of another.

For another half an hour, they waited after the line up of the cars outside the car wash. They watched as the cars one by one drove through the large door and came out sparkling clean.

"This lineup is crazy! You'd think the entire town was here or something. And all in this weather," Yumi said, looking out the windows at the snowflakes. True enough; spring was messy.

"There are a lot of people for the car wash, and it is a long wait..." Her voice trailed off. They waited in silence for the next five minutes.

When their their turn finaly came, Yumi reached out to the digital box and punched in a code for the car wash. The watched as the large door creaked open.

A mechanical voice rang, "Welcome to the Sparkle Shine car wash. Please ensure that your doors and windows are closed during the car wash. Your satisfaction is guaranteed!"

Yumi advanced the Bently into the wash, and watched as the machine began to rinse their vehicle.

Inside the car,Yumi reached out and blared up the volume of the stereo, while Ami enjoyed the soft tumbling of the car as the heavy rollers brushed aside the dirt.

All of a sudden, the giant rollers started to hit the car from every direction. The soap sprayed out of the nozzles in large amounts, making it harder for anyone to see outside. The car was being tossed in every direction, Ami and Yumi still inside, screaming in terror.

"HHHHHHEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPPP UUUUUSSSSS!" Their cries echoed in the wash, but there was no one to hear their plea.

"OH MY G-" Ami and Yumi were stopped by a sickening thud as a swarm of enormous brushes attacked the vehicle and toppled it. Blades of the machines started to pierce the exterior.

After about five more minutes of torture in the wash, the car made it out.

Even though the passengers did not.
