    Dimensions The traffic on the six-lane highway rumbles past. Cars, buses, eighteen wheelers pulling pups, silver recreation vehicles, and motorcycles. The cacophony of noise assaults his ears until he blocks it, creates a white-noise cocoon—a silence of sorts. Not unlike the silence of the crowd he’d stood with half a world away, before the shock wore off and the screaming started. This road is so familiar. He’s driven it hundreds of times.
