The quiet sound of the hiss in the back of the head sounds silently now not to be heard over the noise of the engine and the fan of the heater inside the small black car.
The knob on the rod that also controls the windshield wipers is pressed down, the car rolls at a rock steady speed along the black tarred headlamp lit road, other cars way ahead.
It is like silence, but there is noise. Twin red lights on the back of the vehicle in front seem to slowly move apart, it is just the vehicle coming slowly closer.
Twist the knob down
Slow
But not slow enough, so another twist.
Then the brake.
A red light at some road repairs, a small traffic stoppage, it would not be necessary at this early hour, not really, but they left it on. Slow, slower, green, fast faster and then cruise again.
Cruise control.
