“Màm, are we almost there?”

“I don't know, honey, I've never been here myself before. It's completely unknown territory, which I have to go through carefully to avoid accidents. So how long it will take, I can't answer you.”

“Beware Mom, watch out!”

A dangerous man is coming at us with a lot of speed. A jerk at the wheel, just in time. My heart beats in my throat. That was in close time, it was at best a hair, Kim's cry saved us. I will be glad when we reach the final destination in one piece, but see this less and less positive. I wisely keep my mouth shut to my little daughter, who is fearful enough without my intervention. Just to be sure, I've only taken some extra gas back and super concentrated I now continue our ride.

For a moment, I look at the tense face next to me, and at the same time I feel like a lousy mother. Am I doing the right thing to expose her to all these dangers? Isn't it my job as a mother to offer her a protected home? One where she can feel safe no matter what happens around her in the world? Instead, I let myself be carried away in her desire for adventure. I draw her into a world full of excitement and thrills. In a world full of lurking dangers. I would have done better to book a holiday in a quiet environment, but all affordable addresses were already fully booked, I was late again and I was persuaded to make this alternative. My husband did not agree at all. Now I'm sorry I never listen to him. Take me for the umpteenth time to change this in the future. We had a big fight, it wasn't worth it.

“Màm, if only we can make it now to arrive in time!”

I look at the clock, time runs, and I tend to take a break.

“Shall we stop for a minute, then we'll have a drink and maybe have some chips?”

“No!”, it sounds very definitely next to me: “Not now that we can be there any moment, come on Mom, gases! “

With a slight reluctance I increase the speed a bit again. Ominous rumbling scares me. Where's that coming from? The nerves are screwing through my body. The sound is getting more and more intrusive. My hope for an innocently raging jet fighter is soon gone. Above us, indeed, something flies. But it doesn't look innocent at all. They look like fighter planes, which could drill us into the ground at any moment. At the same time, two armored vehicles arrive on both sides of us. We're going to be trapped, I think panic. Gas, braking, nothing helps anymore. We are now being fired from all sides.

BOOM.

“Màm, NO, our last life is going to die.”

The display flickers:

- You're dead. Game over, play again.~
