Drive
There’s a car — nothing fancy, just the functional kind of thing people drive for a few years after college — rambling east down a highway in one of those parts of the country where the horizon is an endless thing. The sun is rising, and has been for a while now, burnt orange spreading around the edges of the world and embracing it as the deep blue of early day pushes back the star-filled night. In one of those moments that is always missed, the sun has drawn up over the edge of the earth and is stretching out over the dusty dashboard, fingers tapping the windshield and cracking into a thousand points of glare.
