Lift

She wasn’t thumbing a lift, she was just standing there.

He pulled up because of what he saw. She was only young, maybe thirteen or fourteen. It was night time and pitch black. That particular road into town had no street lights. It wasn’t much more than a lane. It was a cold night. Apart from all that, she only had a white slip on and bare feet! He wound down his window.

She looked very pale.

He asked if she needed any help. She said no but a lift would be good and next moment she was in the back seat looking at him in the rear vision mirror.

“Where to?” he asked.

“Seventeen Bancroft Avenue,” was all she said.

He knew where that was and moved off. He knew that part of town and it wasn’t much out of his way. He glanced at her reflection from time to time. She didn’t speak again.

As he entered the avenue, he began looking at numbers. He pulled up at seventeen. Letting her know they had arrived, he turned to look. The back seat was empty.

He couldn’t help but notice the cemetery on the other side of the street.

It seems that sometimes even these… whatever they are, need a lift.

  2. Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  3. I like this weblog very much, Its a very nice situation to read and get information. “There is no human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise.” by Gore Vidal.

  4. Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason seemed to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks

  5. Once I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a remark is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there any manner you can take away me from that service? Thanks!
