The house

(Meghan)

After driving in a straight line for almost the entire way, Meghan began to feel a little drowsy from the steady motion of the car. Her eyes fluttered shut and after a little bit, her nod dropped slightly. Suddenly Meghan woke up with a start and steadied herself quickly, hoping Ray hadn't noticed.

"You're feeling sleepy, huh?" he asked, much to her embarrassment. "It's only natural. We've had one hell of a day today."

"Ahh yeah," Meghan said, scratching the side of her head to hide her face.

Ray stopped accelerating which slowed them down by quite a bit. "Keep a lookout for somewhere we can crash for the night." He told her. "We've very close to the next town now. It would be best if we found a place around here so that it isn't too close nor too far from it."

"The next town…" Meghan said, trying to overcome her horrible sense of direction, "Varakala?" she asked, uncertainly.

"Yep." Ray said, "It's barely two kilometres from here." He added.
