Rest Stop 4
Perhaps, you think, you should go back. The storm is too violent, and you do not want to continue the journey. It may calm down later, after all. But even then you wonder if the house ever existed. Was it only something you invented, desperate in the storm? Gritting your teeth you struggle on, but the howling wind keeps you from making any progress and you give up, standing still on the road.
As your head hangs, however, you glance back. Twinkling in the distance, the lights of the home are still glowing. They seem so far away. Have you really come this far? It had seemed like you were lost, making no progress, and yet you have put much of the road behind you.
After looking for a long moment, you turn back. Perhaps you can smile, thinking of the kind man and the warm drink. Or perhaps you are too chilled, bitterly traveling onward. But either way, you move toward the heart of the storm.
