Morning light glares as you locks up, phone pressed to ear. “Hey babe, I know this is the sixth call. I know you’re going dark, but I love you. Call when you can.” The drive is routine until the endless junction. A sip of coffee, a bob to the radio, a smile at the visor’s note: “Be home soon. Drive safe. Don’t crash. -Johnny.” A laugh escapes. Then, a gust. The note flies out the window. “Ah fuck—” Time dilates. Metal screams. Glass shatters. Airbags explode. Silence falls. Outside the wreckage, the paper drifts onto the asphalt. ***“Be home soon. Drive safe. Don’t crash. -Johnny.”***
