Unforgiving Bitumen

The heavy red lights shines onto the dashboard,
We both blankly stare at it as the speedo quickly rises.
I slowly raise my head and I gaze at the straight road ahead.
It all brushes past me.
I open my eyes in a fit of panic and look around.
Darkness has engulfed this space.
I scream and cry as I shake her lifeless shoulders.
What now?
