So I'm driving through town on a quiet road when I see a car pull out behind me, a few car lengths back. It's night, but this guy has no lights on. I keep looking at him in my rear-view. Still no lights. I swerve back into one lane.
More seconds pass.
My car eases back across the lane divider. I keep staring. More seconds pass. I'm still staring in the mirror, burning the image of his 4 headlights into my retina like the login prompt on a monochrome terminal in 1985. I glance forward when I sense I'm no longer successfully following the road, but I can barely see the lane markers through the afterimage of the headlights of the car behind me.
