Psychological Horror Story: The Collector's Finish (The Price of My Greed Is Higher Than I Thought...). A mechanic's debt leads to a chilling game of survival & uncanny consequences.

Mario, a skilled mechanic in the sweltering heat of Havana, is burdened by a crippling gambling debt. He prides himself on his honesty, but the whispers of impatient creditors grow louder. Salvation seems to arrive in the form of Mr. Roca, a man of shadow and old money, who brings an impossibly pristine 1958 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing for a simple tune-up. But it's the thick envelope of American dollars left carelessly on the passenger seat that truly tests Mario's resolve. A flicker of temptation, a desperate thought of his son, Leo, and the line is crossed. The money disappears into his pocket.

Then, the heavy, final thump-click. The Gullwing's doors lock, sealing Mario inside. The garage door slams shut, transforming his sanctuary into a suffocating vault. Panic sets in as the heat builds, the glass proves unbreakable, and every escape route is flawlessly modified. Hours blur into a feverish nightmare of thirst, pain, and regret, his mind consumed by thoughts of Leo. This psychological horror story plunges you into Mario's desperate struggle for survival, a chilling game where the stakes are his very soul.

In a last, desperate surge, Mario exploits a hidden flaw, escaping the car and confronting Roca. The fight is brutal, short, and ends with a sickening crunch. Mario, victorious, clutches a new, thicker envelope and an ornate key. He has faced the devil and won. He stumbles out into the cool Havana night, a free man, a rich man, a father who can finally fix everything...or atleast he thinks. This supernatural suspense and uncanny tale explores the true cost of temptation, the haunting nature of debt, and the terrifying realization that some victories come at an unexpected price.
