Travelling, moving to BC, A***** from work is with me (why him, really?), in my car, heading to BC, 7 hours to go, nighttime in the mountains...
A gas station, diner, I pull over to fill up, my car packed with my belongings, A***** is travelling onward with my family (father, family, general), I'll only be a few minutes behind...The gas station, all the lights are out, just a few emergency lights, I go around it, fill my car with gas, pull it over and park it...the phone rings, it's A***** telling me there's a power outage all over BC, I look down the road, can't see a single light, back to the kiosk where I filled up with gas, people in the restaurant, lights dim, kiosk unattended, the restaurant must be on a generator...
I grab a couple of packs of cigarettes from the kiosk, leave my car at the gas station, I'm taking my motorbike instead, it's fast, sleek, so new, I've never owned anything so nice, dunno what I'll do about the car but I can come back for it, can't drive 'em both, and I take off down the highway in pursuit, much faster...
(odd. Don't own or know how to drive a motorcycle. And why is A***** tagging along...gonna have to speak to him. Don't like work intruding on my dreams...)
