a visit to perry

Marshall drove all the way, with Jan Sleet in the passenger seat and Vicki in the back. The rain had started around noon, and it seemed to come down harder and harder as the afternoon progressed. It was a driving rain, with strong, unpredictable winds. At times, Marshall could see almost nothing except the little patch of highway right in front of the car, and an occasional pair of blurry headlights coming from the opposite direction. And, of course, the lightning.

He had tried the headlights on high beam a couple of times when no cars were coming, but the rain was so thick it just reflected the light back at them, making it even harder to see.
