On the road to morning
NORTH FARM ROAD 2 hours
We can't stay here. They know where we are.
Then where do we go?
My uncle has a farm two hours north of the city.
Is it safe?
Safer than here. Pack only what you can carry.
We leave before sunrise.
What about Mum's letters?
Take them. All of them.
The car won't start.
Try it again. Slowly.
There. Listen to that.
Lights off until the bridge.
Someone's on the road.
Keep driving. Don't look at them.
How far now?
Forty minutes, maybe less.
You said two hours.
I said two hours from the city.
Wake up. We're here.
It looks smaller than I remember.
Everything does, after ten years.
Is anyone inside?
There's a light in the kitchen.
Then someone's expecting us.
