John had been driving for most of the day and was still a long ways away from where he wanted to be. The storm was about to break and he was tired already and knew he had to stay alert. Stopping for some coffee helped but he knew staying too long was only going to make it worse. he was not going to get to stay on the main freeway much longer and it was that part of the drive that worried him most.
After using the facilities which smelled like a sewer he got back in his car and hit the road refreshed and ready to make the last part of this drive. the sky darkened overhead and he could hear thunder in the distance as he turned onto hwy 125 the twisty hilly road to hell he thought. if it rained to hard before he got through here he would have to come back and go some other way he was not going to let that happen...he turns onto the small two lane road as the sky goes even darker it looked like night time now as he turns on his head lights..slowing down and drives more cautious..After only a mile or so the shoulder of the road becomes grass and trees line the side of the road...he passes through a low water crossing and around a curve and there sits a car flashers on ...he slows and stops next to it lowering the passenger windows he looks in the car but there isn't anyone there...he looks around and sees no one. Just then a flash of lightening brightens up the dark sky and a loud boom shakes his car as he rolls up the window and slowly moves on...as he rounds a bend a half mile or so he sees a woman walking on the shoulder carrying a small bag just as large drops the size of half dollars splash on his wind shield and thumps on the roof of the car....he pulls along side of her and rolls down his window as the sky opens up around them....shaking wet and fearful eyes look back at him.....can i give you a ride he calls above the down pour.....
