The Mountain

Night falls over Beirut Fadi a forty year old packs his luggage and sets out to the airport with his friend driving him He is supposed to leave for a month but instead of going up the plane he heads to the arrivals section and rents a car He takes the highway heading North then continues on a mountainous route Far from anyone on a deserted highway a deviation forces him to quit the main road A distinct sound coming from far is heard the sound of a car honk Fadi gets closer and closer to the sound and sees a wrecked car crashed in a tree alongside the road A couple lay still inside
