Highway to
The following story is true in all details, only the names have been changed, not to protect the innocent but to have cooler names.
Picture the scene.....
It was a dark and stormy night. Um, not that late really, more like late afternoon and it wasn't really stormy just a bit overcast. But, it had been snowing the day before.
I'm not doing such a good job of building the tension here.
Interior of car, driving along, listening to the radio.
Zephyr is driving, Zola in the passenger seat, Zoltan the dog in the back.
Just ahead in the other lane is are two oversize load trucks, with their accompanying convoy vehicles. All are travelling much faster than the posted speed limit.
Up ahead a road sign.....
The song playing on the radio is (seriously) Highway to the Danger Zone
listen to it here
You know the one, from the Top Gun film, includes the lyrics
Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin'roar
Metal under tension
Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone
Anyway, back to the car. The trucks are speeding along, snow is blowing and swirling, the bridge is getting nearer....Zola tenses in the passenger seat, her mind flashes back to several years previous, another snowy day and a head-on collision. The injuries that time were minor -just bruises and a chipped ankle bone.
Zephyr speeds up slightly....
And safely passes the trucks.
