Cars passed below the overpass, where a lonely pair of lights illuminated an empty road. The car idled and it's occupant gazed out at the stream of traffic far below, then turned his gaze to the dark forest ahead. Soon pinpricks of light grew out of the night. He felt a surge of static over his skin and squeezed the polymer thing in his hand with sweating palms.
