Leonard

Leonard was driving along the highway at night, the road almost empty, only the dim light of the headlights cutting through the darkness. The windshield was clear, and the soft reflections of the streetlights barely stood out against the night sky. A cool breeze blew through the open window, but it didn't bother him—in fact, it added to the feeling of freedom. In the distance, the bright trail of headlights faded, and the highway seemed endless. The quiet hum of the engine created a calm, almost meditative feeling. From time to time, he glanced in the rearview mirror, watching the faint lights behind him, which seemed almost magical in the stillness of the night. There was little to do at the summer house, but he was in no hurry. These moments were a time for reflection, a time to recuperate after a day that seemed ordinary but had left something lingering in his soul.
