Outside there is a car waiting.
It has been there since I can remember, probably longer. There is no driver. It doesn't need one.
It waits for me, it has been since it arrived. I don't drive. I don't want to take that ride just yet, but I know that I must.
It is cold and foggy, and I am sitting in this all-night café and my coffee is getting cold.
I don't want to leave but the lights are going out here and there is no more coffee.
I leave the café and walk to the car. Before I open the door I see the number plate.
It has four numbers on it.

And that surprises me, because, it is a subtitled film and while I am pretentious enough to choose to watch foreign-language films, I was also very tired and that was an extra commitment from me. But more importantly, let me warn you, this film is gruesome and violent. There were times I had to turn away from the screen to avoid the worst of it (including some self-inflicted dentistry).
