“A Drive Through Grief ” by Sofia Nesta

Submitted to Contest #230

“You ready?” “Yes,” I say, as I buckle my seat belt, “let’s just get this over with.” To think that I’ve been sat in this same worn-in seat three times prior to today creates a pit of impending doom in my stomach. Although this might be the only time that actually counts, I can’t help but wonder if I should go through with this at all.

Never before had I felt so alive, and this wasn’t a feeling I wanted to disregard. I turn to my left as I watch my reflection grasp the steering wheel and zoom through the next tunnel.
