My uncle froze in panic, and when they hit traffic near the south shore, he quickly unlocked the passenger door and ran away without looking back. So I thought well, I’ll break the law even more and go stand right on the freeway, where there are more cars going by, and a light to stand under.

I was hitchhiking through Europe with my then-boyfriend, and on our way back home, a truck driver picked us up.
