Oh, the awkward drives after a fight, or break-up with a partner. It can be nice to drive in silence with a friend in a car, just embracing the moment, but when you're on bad terms with someone it can be the most awkward drive of your life. So many things want to be said, but each person is holding back. I chose this picture of a dark forest because that is one situation I never want to be in by myself or with someone else. Not only would it be awkward, but scary because you would not know what to say to make the situation better.
Thomas Pynchon, Vineland (Canada: Little, Brown and Company, 1990) pg. 167
