Chill Factor (2010)
“Clear, depthless, cloudless blue, the kind that stares back at you like Nietzsche’s abyss. Not a cloud in sight.
I hate clear skies. Clear skies make me nervous.
I ducked and leant forward again, trying to look straight up from the driver’s seat through the most tinted part of the windshield. Nope, no clouds. Not even a wispy little modesty veil of humidity. I leant back in the seat and adjusted my hips with a pained sigh. The last rest area I’d spotted had been a broken-down, scary-loo...king affair that would have made the most hardened long hauler keep on truckin’, but pretty soon cleanliness wasn’t going to matter nearly as much as availability.
I was so tired that everything looked filtered, textured, subtly wrong. Thirty hours since I’d caught three hours of sleep. Before that, at least another twenty-four of adrenaline and caffeine.
Before that I’d been on the road, driving like a madwoman, for three weeks, poised on the knife edge between boredom and panic.MoreLess
