Monday Morning Drive

It was a strange drive to school today. The sky was slate gray, with a more stormy gray pressing in from all sides. Rain was pouring down. The highway was a mercuric silver due to some combination of water and light leaking through the clouds. The surrounding fields were a brown-gray, waiting to be plowed and planted. I was one of very few drivers on the road. It felt like I was one of the last people on Earth.
