The Long Road

For Eve, Needle’s outstanding feature was his ballooning white hair. 

“Oh my gosh” she said to herself, sitting very still, daring not even to breathe loudly. She expected the ‘presence’ to dissipate, with having been seen, but it remained.

“I would like to travel forward now”, said Needles rather insistently.

“Oh my gosh,” Eve repeated herself, she then turned around and addressed the presence with great purpose.

“I can help you,” she said charitably in a whispered voice forgetting her former upset. “Yes, you must go … go towards the tunnel, with the bright light at the end of it” she said empathetically.

“Tunnel’s fine by me” said Needles amiably, content that she was finally going to get the car moving.
