Day 1,572

It had been quite a while since you last saw another car and the scenic fields now felt like they were closing in on you. According to the SatNav you'd only been on the road for half a mile but the car's clock showed that almost five hours had passed.

As you took yet another half-hidden-by-overgrown-hedges road your fuel gauge lit up the dashboard with an angry red glow. It was full when you left but that seemed like days ago now and there was nothing on the SatNav but endless fields and a smallish river curling its way between them.

Daylight was fading fast now, faster than anything you'd ever seen and before you knew it there was nothing but an inky darkness and the feeble yellow glow of your headlights on a narrow road.
