The father doesn't respond right away.
He just keeps driving.
Then after a moment, he pulls the car over to the side of the road.

Total darkness.
The kind of darkness that feels bigger than the world itself.
Now drive, the father says.
The son laughs nervously.
I can't drive.
I can't see anything.
A narrow stretch of road appears.
Not the whole journey, not the destination.
