I will give my will to the road.
I will do this today.
I will capture the shade today!
I will not be stopped!
I can not be stopped!
It will be mine.
As I walk through the eerie mid-afternoon fog I see a cars headlights far off in the distance. The fog distorts the light making it appear to be an orange-green color.
This doesn't feel real..
The fog around me smells of pepper and grain
and
I cannot see the sun.
I feel an emptiness growing in the pit of my stomach.
Why is this fog here.
I cannot see my hands.
The car is getting closer.
The fog is hot and I'm getting damp.
I can hear the ocean.
Ravenous waves
beating against a stone drum.
I can feel it.
That car is going to hit me.
I should move.
This doesn't feel right.
Cars don't belong on my road.
Neither does fog.
I will go to the ocean.
I will watch the stars.
I will see if they fall.
I will see if they exist beyond the fog.
Or if their light has surrendered.
