Inside of Forever
I drove into the parking lot, went around to the furthest spot from the front of the strip mall with the need to be as far from it as possible. I swung in between two spots next to a light post, stopped the car and threw it into park. Then, I immediately leaned forward, crossed my arms on the steering wheel and looked up into the evening sky above the one-story row of stores. I took a deep breath in, and it looked so ominous that when I exhaled the pink and blue hues mixed as if it was brewed from a witch’s cauldron. The feeling that something was brewing just for me was so intense, I almost pulled right back out of there and went home.
