"Well... you may be lucky, sometimes, to not see with your eyes what the world has come to. I know you can feel it, hear it, and see with your mind.... it's all the more terrifying when you add what your eyes see." She sighed against his neck. "I miss happier times. But at least we have each other, right?"
A couple of misfits, alone in this world. To her, the thought was actually pleasant.
Miranda was lucky, to have a seat somewhat close to the window. If she drew herself up slightly, she could see the rustic scenery passing by. And she saw that they were entering the woods, bumping along a long forgotten road. She assumed that it had been decent once, but now it was bumpy, and it had never been paved, like the other roads.
"We're taking a scenic route!" The driver called, his voice rough and gritty.
Miranda shuddered slightly, then looked at the company she was keeping. They were all like her: rugged, worn, tired, cramped. And yet, amidst all of the people like her, she was alone.
