Excerpt
"As my new Volvo wagon took each curve in the road, it punctuated the darkness with the swoop of its headlights; the refelction of red and green Christmas lights played on its windshield. Its brakes seemed to take on a life of their own. I pumped them once, not believing there was something in the road, then hit them hard."
