It was impossible.
I had not turned around.
I had not stopped.
There was no way it got ahead of me unless there was more than one.
And that thought was somehow worse.
I kept driving.
Another mile passed.
Maybe two.
Time got weird.
Every shadow looked like it was moving.
Every fence post looked like a person standing still.
I started praying, which I do not usually do.
I was not even praying correctly.
I was just saying, please God, please God, over and over.
Then I saw headlights behind me.
At first I was relieved.
Another car meant a person, a normal person, help.
But the headlights came up fast, way too fast for that road, and then stayed a few car lengths behind me.
High beams, bright white.
I could not see the vehicle, just the lights filling my mirrors.
