{ ★ } | SYLVESTRE'S POV | { ★ }


" I've been driving, likely for hours, nonstop. I need some kind of break. "

....

" I spotted a gas station sign. It says it's about a mile away. That shouldn't be bad. I can hold off until then. "

.....

" Finally, I'm here... Uumm... I don't know what I should order.. "

....

[] WITHIN A MOMENT OF PONDERING, HE DECIDES THAT HE'LL JUST GET A SLICE OF PIZZA, WITH A SMALL SLUSH IN THE WATERMELON FLAVOR. []

......

" I've had a lot better than that... I guess I'll live. "

I began driving again, munching on the slice of pizza I purchased.

.....

Breaking the dead silence as I drove,

" Your destination is within 5 miles. Turn right on Heritage Parkway.  "

" ......Great. Thanks. I needed that information early. Thank you. "

......

" Siri, what's the time? "

" 11:32 PM."

" ....Okay. Uuh... "

I'd just looked back at the road. Isn't it bad to look away?! That's how most accidents happen...

After a moment of feeling irresponsible, the A.I. assistant began to speak again in its monotonous voice.

" Turn right! "

" GUH!-- "

-~-~- SCRRRRRRREEEEECH--! -~-~

" .... Fuck. "

Barely catching my breath, I stare blankly into the dark night sky, a sea of stars glaring back at me. 

Breathing heavily, I pulled over for a moment. I just rested my head on the dash for a moment. Looking back up, the moon looked directly back at me. 

A sigh escaped from me, as I began to get back onto the road.

....

Around 10 minutes passed, as I began to near the neighborhood my family lives in.

I parked in a spot in front of the house. Nostalgia engulfed me, though I made it to the door.

With the key my parents gave me when I left for college, I'd knocked and opened the door.

Knowing everyone was likely asleep, I viewed the text that my mom had sent me while I was driving.


Mom: " I'm glad you're visiting! hopefully, you still have the key I gave you when you left for college, but if you don't there's a key under the mat. " 

[ SENT AT 9:23 PM ]


 Mom: " By the way, I cleaned the guest room for you. Love you, sweetie. "

[ SENT AT 9:24 PM ]


You: " <3 "

[ DELIVERED AT 12:02 AM ]
