"Do you always drive by night?" She said, looking at him with a worrying gaze.
"Yes." He took a drag from his half burned cigarette while gazing the city lights below.
"Isn't that dangerous? Especially in your line of work?" She turned her eyes to the city streets. "I mean, the roads are empty and the cops have more chances to catch you."
"That's the idea." He took another drag. "They've got all the chances in the world to catch me but they never will." His eyes were still fixed in the purple color created by the blend of the sunset and the neon lights of the city.
"What do you mean?" Her worrying voice gave a hint of hope as she moved closer to him waiting for an explanation.
"At night, only the creatures that have a reason to be out stay up late." He pointed to the city below "All those people hiding in their places, waiting for the daylight to brighten their day will never know true freedom." His voice raised slightly in volume, showing a hint of excitement. "The city sounds different, smells different. Every alley of it feels alive, but not in the sense you understand life." He turned his gaze to the full moon that started appearing in the night sky. "I know every part of it, every corner and dead end. I belong to the city and I belong to the night so it doesn't matter how many chances I'll give to the cops. They stay up late not because they want to, but because they are doing a job."
She was surprised with the answer and took a step away from him. "Isn't that dangerous?"
He turned and fixed his eyes on her. A slight grin appeared on his otherwise serious face.
"I am dangerous."
He threw his cigarette but and reached for the drivers door handle.
"Get in, it's time to run."
This is Shadow Run, the first track from my upcoming EP Dangerous! I hope you enjoy the Synthwave / Outrun feel and the electric guitars! See you soon!
