It seemed to be about 11pm. It was misty outside, condensation clouding the windows of the car. I sat up, looking around. Was that a dream? I don't think I've seen anyone do that before. I turned to where the taxi driver was standing. He was still talking to the woman; she appeared to be giving him some money. After he had put the money in his pocket, she dragged him to a hotel room and slammed the door. I chuckled; "he got lucky."
I woke up from the bright, early morning sunlight. It was extremely hot; I could feel the heat warming up the car. The clock that was on the dashboard read 9:48 am. I was laying head first on the floor while my lower body was on the car seat. I eventually managed to pull myself up back onto the seat. The taxi driver was walking back to the car with what appeared to be coffee. He arrived at the door of the car, opened it and handed me a coffee. "Thanks, I guess." I said. "Ah, that's no problem. We've got a long drive ahead of us." As he said this, he ignited the engine and backed out of the parking lot, if that's what you'd call it. It was more like a demented, uneven area with holes and weird lumps everywhere. "So, did you have a fun night?" I was trying to create conversation. "Umm, yeah, I did actually." He said this with a big smile, and looked pretty satisfied. I shook my head knowingly. "Did you sleep well?" I replied with a nod, and then looked out the window. "Have you ever messed up so bad, that no matter how much you try to forget it, it doesn't go away?" His large smile turned to a slight frown. There was a long pause, so I dropped the subject. "Just forget about it." I said. It was hard to cope already, now he was just making it worse.
There was a sudden jolt of the car, and I immediately went flying forward. "Whoa! What happened?" "Nothing, just the farmer's sheep have got out." I sat back in my seat, sweating my ass off. "What temperature is it in here?" I managed to splurt out through wheezes. He looked at the temperature gauge. "It's about 45 degrees Celsius." I sighed and went to sleep. Maybe that will kill some time.
