He was back on road. Out west. Where the beers were smaller but the people were larger.
He had to order more beers than usual to feel a buzz. He wasn't used to ordering this many beers. When leaving the bar he'd feel uncomfortable. Worried that he'd be driving drunk. But...

So began driving without a destination. Out west. The only thing he could think was 'i've done this before. so many damn times.'

After entering the townhouse neighborhood his foot became lighter. Almost instictually he knew to slow down. Not because he was scared of being pulled over but because he was near now. She was close. She had stopped. She was even out of her car by this point.

There was a pressure building as she approached her destination. The pressure wasn't within her. But she could still feel it, almost as if her feelings went beyond just her own body.
She didn't notice this pressure until she was within a few hundred miles. But once she felt it she...
