| Description: |
A car is stopped on the side of the road in front of a building. A man in the drivers seat honks the horn and a ghostly arm reaches out to press the doorbell on the building. A woman looks out from the backseat of the car. Two giant arms reach down from the sky. One is holding a folded piece of paper while the other points to a second car in the background. The scene takes place at night and the larger cars headlights are clearly visible. There is a full moon in the sky, which has a face and two arms, with its fingers in its ears. Also visible in the background are two smaller buildings, a tree, and a clock tower. Image Access WideTEK 25 City ordinance. A-oow-ow. Wow woop-oop. No horn toots or sounding from 10 pm to 6 am.
