Run, Shadofax, show us the meaning of haste.

Back when our journey west was coming to a close, I remember lying down in the passenger seat of my car while my editor drove, thinking about how our trip went. That morning, we drove up from San Diego back to Los Angeles, and after visiting with those who we knew there, we had a late dinner with my former Biology teacher from high school. Our goal was to drive to Las Vegas and be there by morning.

the link above was the song I remember hearing right as we were leaving town.

In context to the game it is from, this is what you see as you are 'leaving' the horrible science labs you had been trapped in for the last two games. What awaits you at the end is the freedom you so desired, but you still feel a slight pain of sadness knowing its over. That's what it was like when I lived in that godforsaken land for the first time.

oddly enough, all I can think about now is returning to that desert. So when I was lying in the car, listening to this song, I felt the pain of a farewell to a place I so wish to see again.

it sounds stupid, I know, but that's how I feel.
