The Hitchhiker (chapter 1)

I was on my way home from1

a party one cold, dark, stormy night.2

It was around 1:30 in the morning.3

I had a long, hard day at work.4

I was trying to get home,5

before the storm got worse.6

I usually ride along with a friend,7

but my friend called in sick.8

The rain was coming down9

very hard. I was having a hard10

time seeing the road11

ahead of me.12

The highway was a dead calm.13

I saw a gas station up ahead.14

The gas tank was almost on empty.15

I pulled into the gas station.16

Me: "Fill it up."17

Attendant: "Yes, ma'am."18

As the gas station attendant 19

was filling up the tank,20

I decided to go into the21

store and get a pack of smokes.22

    I love the start of this. It has alot of detail and hope to catch up and read alot more of your work. Though I am confused as to why you styled it this way? Usually you put your stories in more of a book type format. rose
