The sky was grey and heavy. It wouldn't be long before more snow would come, he could feel it. He had been driving for three hours straight, it was time to stop and stretch his legs. He needed some fresh air to think. Today he had seen glimpses of new opportunities and to his own surprise he felt energised and ready to explore these further.
He drove a little faster, eager to leave the highway to find a quiet spot and get out of the car. A few big snowflakes hit the windscreen. It was winter after all, but he liked it. It was the season where you could disappear and be left alone. That was exactly what he'd needed a couple of months ago to get his act back together after a lot of things in his life turned nasty for him. He'd reacted with some uncharacteristic actions, of which the sudden resignation from his job and the move to this remote area were undoubtedly the most liberating.
