Yesterday as I was driving home from work I was slowing down near the intersection of Main and Great Road. I happened to glance in the rear view mirror, I think I often do that at stoplights...I couldn't really make out the face of the person in the car behind me. Well, I could and I couldn't. The thing is, there were reflections on the windshield, and of course I don't keep my rear window as clean as I should. I swear, though, for a moment what I saw was a grey, elongated face, or at least what used to be a face: There were dark holes where the eyes should have been, and the mouth was another dark hole, rounded and open...Honestly, I did quite a double take. But then I could see that the person at the wheel was wearing a hood, you know, one of those "hoodie" things, I think they call them. And maybe dark glasses. It did give me a start, though. And I was so distracted that I missed my turn and ended up getting a little lost - which was very hard to explain to Ben when I got home - How could I have gotten lost so close to home?
