about

7

He stalled again. The odometer was busted, but he couldn’t have been more than 10 miles down the road.

He was ready, committed, to take one final look back at the road that would someday lead him back home. A house where his mother would soon be rising to bake biscuits, where his father would stare emptily at the rising sun over the chicken coops, where his sister would stubbornly refuse to greet the morning with open eyes until the scent of coffee and grease stirred her slumbering lids.

He smiled a goodbye, and then found himself arrested by what lay still in the passenger seat.

The tattered suitcase had seen better days. It, like the wine, had come from a time long since past, never to be seen again. For all the stillness in its leathery, cracked frame, for all the charm and whimsy of this relic long out of date, it had an ominous heaviness.

He knew that when he arrived at his final destination, he’d have to open it. Like Pandora of old, of those stories so nearly forgotten, he’d have to unleash what had been hidden away inside upon the world.

A deep breath in, then out. A cracking of knuckles, a licking of the lips.

He put the halting car in Drive, and sailed away.

He wouldn’t look back. Not until he could look forward, and only forward, once more.
