Nowhere to go, nowhere to stop
About
The car smells like gas station coffee and three days without a shower. Andrew has the paper map spread across his knees again — the same one — like the roads might have changed overnight. The gauge is on E. You have eleven dollars and some coins in the cupholder. The last meal was a vending machine bag of pretzels split down the middle somewhere past the state line. Three nights ago, something happened in an apartment. You both know what it was. Neither of you have said it out loud since you left. Somewhere behind you, someone is already asking questions. You have to keep moving — but first, you have to find gas.

He doesn't look up. There's a town. Maybe twelve miles. A pause. His thumb presses down on a small dot on the map. I don't know if we make it on what's left.
