Val is back in the Car...

Sad the sea. Sad the sea.  There they were, on the dashboard.  Val reached for them and put them on.  Everything looked clearer, and darker.  She turned the key and pulled away, glancing absentmindedly.  Slowly she floated down the road, oblivious to what was behind her.

It looked like a good day.  The phrase kept streaming but stayed inside.  Sad the sea, almost audible.  Sad the sea, sad the sea, sad the sea.  She flicked on the radio to stop it.  Then she saw it. Straight ahead, it glimmered and turned black, a thing laying across the horizon.  A blip, then gone.  She glanced in the mirror.  Again, and now it was behind her.  And then ahead.  She did not know which way to look.

But she kept going.
