As Tom stepped out of his house with a fresh cup of coffee in hand, the suburban day couldn't have been more peaceful. The sun, framed by the border of his white picket fence, was just starting to creep above the horizon. The gentle early light graced the silent streets with a shimmering glow that seemed to sweeten the air. But he heard it.
