Farewell My Eyjafjörður | Driving Home

Transcript and Taglist below the cut~

Sera glances at the moon glistering on the sea one last time before she turns right past Borgarnes, heading deeper into the fjord and onto unlit roads. Sigga lies asleep on the passenger seat, a stuffed bag making for an uncomfortable cushion. In the absence of lamplight, the stars shine even brighter as the smooth layer of snow bathes in the light of the moon.

“They’ve missed you Sig, the stars,” Sera says, her voice already coarse from hours of catching up. She turns the music up a little, careful as not to wake Sigga. She drives on to the tune of Pink Floyd’s guitars and under the percussion of tyres pushing the pebbles off the road, softly humming along herself too.

The road takes them past endless hills and quiet streams of water. She leans to the right slightly, pulling up Sigga’s coat from her knees and pulling it up until she manages to pull it over Sigga’s shoulders. All the while the music continues to play, but on the background a piano plays another melody, a dissonant one, growing louder and softer with each bar, breathing.

Hey you, out there on the road

Always doing what you're told

Can you help me?

The car groans as one of the wheels hits a pothole. Sera clutches the wheel and pulls right, pulling them away from the downwards slope on their left. Tyres cry out. For a moment the stars flicker, the light stretching out into long lines, casting a net across the night sky.

“You okay?” Sigga asks.

Sera looks to the right once before focusing on the road once again, the stars perfectly normal again.

“I…” she mutters, her heart pulsing, her palms sweating.

The song has reached its conclusion, and the singer calls out one more time before him and the strange piano melody fade out.

“I didn’t know they aired remixes like that on the radio,” Sera says, hoping to calm them down with a laugh, but her hand on the poke is shaking, pulsing, reaching out as she drives away from Iceland’s darkest fjord.
