Chap 3
As we continued to drive, neither of us spoke. It was eerie the silence that enveloped upon us. It wasn’t like anything I was used to, not like how it is in church or in the library but something else. It was more like a strangling effect. I kept my eyes peeled on the road looking for that god damn bloody sign, my eyes peering through the night sky and the headlights of my car. I soon found it and turned the car off on to the road that it told me to turn on. I turned my head to the guy, “We are almost there.” I smiled and turned back to the road. The guy turned his face toward the front of the car and sighed. As we sped towards our destination, I noticed the sporadic silhouettes of burned down old buildings as we passed by. I was wondering what kind of town this may have been. When did it become so macabre? This road seemed to go on forever, trees were sparse in this area probably for the development of houses or the fire that seemed to have enveloped it all into char remnants of what it used to be. The silence seemed to tick on. It was creepy already having to be alone with a guy who seemed to have bipolar issues, but watching the scenery outside was just an added bonus to my heebee-jeebees scale. I took a deep breath and exhaled calmly. Once done I turned to the guy “Are you ok?” He didn’t say anything but kept his face forward, I could barely see his profile now with the natural light fading outside the car. I turned back and hoped upon hope that it would all end soon.
