LIZZY
The sun beats down on my head as I pop my hip out to the side and
throw my thumb into the air, jabbing it over my shoulder in a
movement that hopefully screams help me hitch a ride but don’t kill
me. Even though all I want is to down a tall glass of ice water, I keep a smile
on my face and wait until the last possible second of a car approaching to
wipe the sheen off my forehead.
Someone has to stop. Eventually. Farther down the road, in the direction
I’ve come from, I see the hulking mass of my car hunched over the edge of
the road, as much on it as not. Each car approaching me from that direction
has to slow down and move out of the way to avoid clipping it. Not that it
would matter to me if they did — what’s one more dent when the entire thing
is destined for the scrapyard?
The vehicle approaching me is a truck with dust all over the sides and
mud splashed up on its fender. Too late, I drop my hand by my side and turn,
dipping my chin down to my chest and walking in the direction of town. You
can tell a lot about people from the type of car they drive, and it’s not that I
have anything against men in trucks, exactly, it’s just that I have enough
experience to know they don’t always turn out to be the best humans on the
planet.
Anyone willing to drive a gas guzzler at the expense of the environment
likely isn’t going to stop for someone like me walking along the side of the
road anyway, so I’m more than a little surprised when I hear the truck
approach, slow down, then idle next to me.
“You need a ride, darlin’?” The voice is loud, easy on the ears.
