A Long Detour
The hitchhiker Andy picked up on that July afternoon was one of the stranger people he had met. She had, after warm thanks for stopping, and a moment or two of silence, proclaimed herself to be able to grant a wish. The conjuration she had performed in support of this was quite remarkable- once the sound of the cymbal had stopped ringing in Andy’s head, he was quite impressed.
Now Andy, good Christian that he was, was always of the opinion that you should do a good deed for its own sake, and not for material reward. He lightly waved away the images of wealth or power that the girl suggested. “My one wish, young lady, is to get you to where you’re headed!”.
The girl’s face contorted with fear as darkness fell outside.

Perfect
its pretty much just the classic hitch hiker story
How strange. I feel both sadness and fear from this one. Unexpectedly powerful for such brevity.
It was perfect.
OMG!!!I’ve never felt compelled to write. Don’t ya’ll know that sometimes stories are supposed to get you to use a nifty little thing called your imagination?!!!
