Am02 - the End of the Wasp Season
“As Morrow stepped out of the front door into the brisk morning, walked down to the car and unlocked it, slowly and gracelessly fitted her odd shape into the driving seat and tucked her coat in before shutting the door, something nameless weighed on her. She started the engine, using only the mirror to reverse into the street, already uncomfortable when she turned from the waist.
She stopped at the bottom of the hill. Took a breath, shook her head and wondered what was wrong. A sense of discomfo...rt but not the usual, this had a different quality. She started off again, pulling down the road, slower than usual. The radio buzzed with news of traffic jams and children’s birthdays, rumors of an accident on the M8. She punched the switch, turning it off, and drove into town, the roads quiet because it was so early.
She felt, she realized, as if she was driving with someone she’d had an argument with. But she was alone. Stupid.
She let it go, losing herself in the commands of the road, the red lights, the give ways, performing textbook brakes when pedestrians crossed the road thoughtlessly or other drivers made silly turns.MoreLess
