Thanks for this comment! I was tempted to go towards a more optimistic ending, having "wake up" in the nick of time, swerve and keep driving after having seen her... but darkness won me over again!
The feeling during our drive was something I could not put in words. Have you ever got yourself "stoned" by the images, the beauty you're just looking at? That's what I get on trips like this ;)
I am left there, gazing, feeling, absorbing the energy, the beauty... it might sound a bit crazy, but hey, who isn't a little crazy?
I get stoned like that a lot. The music I'm listening to or just the sounds around me, the scenery, wild conversations, faces that tell a whole story just by looking at you. It's why I almost never use drugs. Anything more with my perceptual chemistry might put me over the edge!
I hope you took turns driving, though!
It's nice to see that there are others like me (I felt such a weirdo).
I try to stay on alert when driving, thanks! :)
