I usually don't pick up1
strangers, but I don't like2
seeing anybody walking in3
a thunder and lightening4
storm either.5
I decided to stop and6
pick the stranger up.7
I was a little nervous8
about doing this.9
I honked the horn and10
pulled over to the shoulder.11
The stranger opened the door.12
It was the man from the13
gas station.14
He kind of freaked15
me out a bit.16
I tried to pretend17
I wasn't scared.18
Man: "Hello."19
Me: "Hello."20
Man: "Could you give me a lift?"21
Me: "Um, I don't know if I should."22
Man: "Well, if you don't do23
this kind of thing,24
you don't have to."25
Me: "I usually don't do this26
kind of thing, but I don't27
like seeing anybody getting28
caught in a storm with nowhere29
to take cover."30
Man: "Are you sure you don't31
mind?"32
Me: "No, I don't mind at all."33
Man: "By the way, what's your name?"34
I was hesitant to even say35
what my name was at first.36
Me: "Um, what's yours?"37
Man: "My name is Tony."38
Me: "Nice to meet you Tony. 39
My name is Cynthia."40
Tony: "Nice to meet you too Cynthia."41
Author notes
I know these chapters are short, but that's the way I like writing them. I'm a little blocked right now, but I will have Chapter 6 for you shortly (I hope).

quite unique presentation
This is the first part of the series I read, so I suppose there isn't _that_ much for me to comment on. It is odd that you break lines midway through the page, and also the fact that the dialogue is clear cut. A good change of pace though, I suppose this way its the compromise between a play and a story. The best of both worlds! I wonder, did this actually happen to you?
