The love, the father and the discomfort

(book, illustration, vrij werk)

Roadnovelle through the eyes of a frightened girl.

“There are dangers. Always.
But with old people there are more. And she knows it.

They make a journey. A long trip.
The love, the father and the inconvenience. They are close together in a buzzing car. A closed metal that flies over the earth.
The father drives, the love and discomfort stare at stripes on the road. Being eaten by the wheels.

The wheels, the stripes: this is the rushing danger of the world.
The girl thinks: “is this going to be alright?”
