She sat in the front seat as the darkness took hold
Faster and faster the car sped forward
Her hand on the wheel and the other on the side
Her eyes diverted, a frown on her head
She blinked once, twice, three times
Tears threatening to fall any moment
A deep breath, another turn
And nothing for miles ahead
"Where am I going?" she wondered within
Her heart racing as fast as the car
"Zoom! Zoom!" the engine roared
No stopping now
No turning back
I've come too far
This is my fate
Her head falls back against the seat
Relaxing now, resting deep
She closes her eyes and lets the tears fall
The darkness closing in on the long windy road
"Zoom! Zoom! The engine roars again
She opens her eyes just in time
And whizzes to the sidelines
A sigh of relief as the lights flash
The sun has risen
Her tears are dry
A smile slowly appears
Finally, she's free.

In my mind's eye, I'm sitting in a quaint café in Madrid, watching the sky turn from baby blue to hues of purple and pink as I sip on a delicious Spanish hot chocolate. My dog, Mabel, is resting under my wicker chair as I reflect on life.
