Final Destination
How to Disappear Completely
I got into my car and pressed down on the accelerator, causing the car to speed up quickly.
It was a shitty day, and I finally wanted to get home. The day was slowly ending, while the sun finally wanted to retire after the long, sunny summer day.
After a short drive, I unfortunately ended up in a traffic jam. Visibly annoyed and bemoaning my fate, I finally decided to put on some music.
The slow guitar intro to Radiohead’s “How to Disappear Completely” rang out from the flawless Bang & Olufsen speakers in the full melancholy spectrum.
I got tired of waiting and started looking for an alternative route on my mobile phone. Time was too valuable to lose in a work traffic jam.
After a while, the app showed me an alternative route that I hadn’t seen before. It seemed to take me through a completely unfamiliar area, but I didn’t care. I wanted to get away. Away and out of here.
Surprisingly, the blue button on the map app didn’t say “Go” but “Final destination”. I pressed it and turned out of the traffic jam at the next opportunity.
“I’m not here,” Thoms York’s voice came from the speakers. How familiar the feeling was. Hopefully, I will be home soon.
