The rain shower begins near twilight, just as drivers were turning on their headlamps. Soon the wet pavement throws back a kaleidoscope of reflections from car lights, streetlights, shop signs, and the dying sun. The road seems cloaked in ambiguity as natural light fades, but the artificial glows of night are still unrevealing.
Through the gloom and the smear of last-season’s windshield wipers, you think you see a shadow figure step from the curb into your lane.
