Desolate

Earl had been driving on the desolate road for miles without seeing another building or person when he saw her. He thought about stopping, but he knew picking up a hitchhiker was a bad idea. In hindsight, he wished he had stopped. As he continued to drive, an odd feeling came over him. Suddenly, he was now standing on the side of the road, watching his old truck drive off far into the distance. He looked down, recognizing the body as the woman he had just seen trying to hitchhike. Now he was the one standing on the side of the road, waiting for the next car to come around -- which he guessed would likely be quite a long time. In the interim, he was stuck out here with a very unfamiliar body!
