The emergency shoulder of 66

I am scared. I

do not want to die.

I don't know many

people who do.

I love my mom + dad.

Avery is a very good

person and friend.

The rain is

buffetting the car,

coming down in torrents.

There is thunder +

lightning. Other cars

(page turn)

are stopped, too, all

blinkers on.

Like a warm + comforting

gathering of strangers.
