Summary: Google doc of the text so far. Apocalypse Dowell had never been much of a driver.nbsp; He'd sold his car back in Kentucky, and in San Francisco he'd only taken the bus.nbsp; The bus was usually late and full of crazy people, but it was cheap and when he got off the bus he didn't have to worry about where to park it. Horns were blaring behind him.nbsp; He knew they wanted him to drive faster, but he couldn't.nbsp; Under normal circumstances, on a sunny day out in the country in Kentucky, he drove slowly.nbsp; There was no way he would speed up at night in a foreign country where people drove on the wrong side of the road and where he didn't even have a license. He had no license to drive in Japan.nbsp; He was driving illegally.nbsp; That thought made him want to pull over, but the word swarm kept repeating in his head.nbsp; The driver had said it.nbsp; When he'd first met him, the driver's English had been understandable but poor.nbsp; Then, he'd used the word swarm.nbsp; Did they teach that in Japanese schools?nbsp; How are you?nbsp; Fine thanks, and you?nbsp; Please watch out for the swarm.
