Days Before the Death of Nicky

2024 · 19 min

A quiet, opaque drive through ordinary roads, holding you at a distance while a vague unease slowly gathers.

Overview
Behind the wheel of her little car, Nicky seems to be on a mission. Roads pass by but the ideas in her head remain unfathomable. A meal, the discovery of a rifle, chance encounters: the mystery remains unsolved.
