Driving Complications

The day had been long, and the three passengers traveling in the red car speeding along in the carpool lane were more than weary. In the back rode Christof, a boy of 20 with no track in life but the whims that he was feeling. And today, he was not feeling his on-again-off-again girlfriend as a need. He had just finished relating to his companions his eagerness to be rid of the shrew.
Isaiah, in the passenger’s seat, remained silent, though he couldn’t agree more. He had been against any union between the two since the first time. However, being Christof’s junior by 2 years, he could not bring him to see reason, and rid himself of her permanently.
The two of them seemed a grim pair, each minding themselves, staring blankly out of their own windows. And thought the day had been long and weary, though she despised the wretch that was her brother Isaiah’s friend’s girlfriend. Elizabeth had a slight smirk emerging onto her face as they drove on. She watched the lines of the road as the oncoming traffic blinded her in the windscreen. That sadistic smile grew unknowingly to the others, as she contemplated what it would be like to careen the vehicle into the center dividing wall of the interstate they traveled.
