I don't think I've had sweaty palms. Probably because my head produces so much water during stress there's nothing left for the hands.

This story is very vivid and is written from two perspectives. The driver who has to literally sweat it out on a two skinny lane road and her younger calmer daughter. The two perspectives could almost be her dueling emotions or her motherly instincts vs her own fearless self when a teenager.

The fear side is one any of us can relate to in a multitude of prior experiences. The calm side is (usually) the perspective of expectations prior to any event and hopefully the perspective of a survivor.

Good job Sidse.
