The overhead light in the SUV illuminated the otherwise dark landscape. The sun had set at some point during his escapades with Dayton. A chill filled the night air causing Sara to turn on the heat while she started the vehicle. Jordan felt a blast of hot air nearly knock him off his perch as the engine rumbled to life. The large SUV shook as it roared to life, causing the diminutive-sized Jordan to struggle to maintain a semblance of balance.
Jordan instinctually started to say something, but he quickly stopped himself as Sara’s words crossed his mind. As she flipped on the headlights, he found that he couldn’t see as well in the dark at this new size. What Jordan didn’t know was that his vision hadn’t gotten better or worse but his range of vision scaled with his size. So at scale, he saw the same distance but what he perceived as 1 mile is different from the reality of what 1 mile would be to Sara.
Jordan sighed as Sara pulled out her phone and synced it to his Vehicles’ stereo. Watching her clear out all his radio presets earlier was still fresh in his mind, and it somehow felt worse as she deleted his phone from the memory of the vehicle and replaced it with her own. In an instant all of Sara’s contacts replaced his own as he then watched her bring up the Spotify app. Seconds later, country music blared out of the speakers as they pulled out of Mrs. Harris’s driveway.
“I should have been more vigilant,” Jordan thought to himself. It was easy to look back on things with doubt and question your decisions. This instance was different, though. Jordan knew he had messed up. If he could go back in time, he would have taken the reports more seriously, and he would have made better plans and set up a contingency plan.
“Why did I not set up to have someone I could trust check up on me? Why wasn’t I more prudent on when and where I was going out?” Jordan thought as he sees his freedoms slipping away. In contrast, any Autonomy he had over his life has been seemingly removed. Even now, all his presets had been replaced by hers in his own car. His contacts were purged and replaced by hers. It has only been a few hours, but even her perfume hung in an omnipresent manner in the air.
As they drove down the road headlights from passing cars would briefly illuminate everything inside the car allowing Jordan to easily see everything before the darkness returned. His stomach growled as Sara continued to drive towards her home.
