章 160: Family Matters, Part 2

The rest of the drive back, I just stuck to the window clinging myself to the sights outside, saw the concrete jungle give way to greener pastures as we took that same familiar exit out of the city.

Shrubs, greenery, thick clumps of forestry foliage, and distant hills made out most of the horizon. It wasn't long before that too cleared way for another familiar sight. 

The lake in the distance looked bigger going in than it did going out. Tried catching another glimpse of that thin slab of metal drifting along in serene tides, but by the time my eyes looked through the glare of the scorching sun, the shimmer of ocean-blue was gone before a proper look could even be made.

Us going in, was much faster than us going out. The turns taken were sharp, the whirrings of a strained motor could be felt as tremors rumblings beneath our feet, and the outside started blending into a murky blur of colors.
