Chapter 107

He could hardly see the headlight of the car somewhere behind him. He turned on the radio and it was all about the weather and traffic, except that he had to wait for the advertisements in between. He heard the discussions between a couple of guys that they might declare a state of emergency if it gets worse and they were expecting it to get worse. He was glad that it was a long weekend and he would be there and there was no flood warning anywhere near his destination.

He expected that it would take at least half an hour more to get there. He wanted to call his sister to let her know that he is on his way, but he forgot his ear piece and decided it was not such a good idea to be on the phone in such a weather, cold, blinding rain and windy. He could neither see any other vehicle on the road, nor did he know if there were any.

He kept his eyes on the road and thought he saw something or someone, he was not sure. When he got a little closer he could see what looked like a car almost on the edge of the railing and someone was waving their hand. He knew he can’t break just yet and he has to be careful since he had a front wheel drive and he drove past the car on the shoulder.
