What a gray day today.

It feels like I’ve been driving forever now.

Not a damn thing can be seen through this mist.

Careful not to fall asleep

Have to find a place to rest first.

Eyelids getting heavy, gotta keep steady.

A sign, finally.

It reads Justice Falls, Wyoming.

Wyoming? No I can’t be here, it’s too far.

Turn back to the road.

Something...something there

Thud

Screech

Stop

...Catch my breath. What happened?

Keep it together. Wide-awake now.

Gotta go out. Gotta see what I hit.

Pull over to the side. Get out of the car.

Too misty, can’t see a damn thing.

Look around best I can, nothing.

I could’ve swore...is it getting lighter?

Turn back to the road. Headlights.
What a gray day today.
