Im JGallaher, and this isnt just a drive its a slow-motion cinematic moment Im caught in, the world holding its breath as the sun bleeds through the clouds like a dying star. Im sandwiched between a giant U-Haul rig on my right, its boxy form a monument to the mundane, and a lone motorcyclist ahead, a dark silhouette carving a path through the traffic like a rebel on a quest. The asphalt beneath me feels warm, already absorbing the last golden rays of a day thats slipping away. To my left, the green hills roll gently, a quiet, watchful presence, while the sky above? Its a canvas of drama the clouds are thick, bruised with twilight, but theres still a sliver of light breaking through, casting a soft, almost ethereal glow on the road ahead. Im not just moving; Im being transported. The smell of exhaust, the hum of engines, the distant chatter of people in cars theyre not even listening to its all part of the story. This is the moment where time slows down, where the ordinary becomes epic. Im not sure where Im going, but Im absolutely, completely, irrevocably here. And Im not just a passenger Im a witness to a fleeting, beautiful, slightly chaotic chapter in the road. The motorcycle ahead? Its my silent companion, my silent challenge. The U-Haul? Its the unstoppable force, the giant of moving and forgetting. Im just a small, fleeting thing in the middle of it all. But Im alive. Im here. And Im going to remember this moment, the one where the sky was painted in the colors of the world ending and beginning, and I was just riding, not knowing where, but knowing that I was.
