A Night To Remember.
Driving was not my favourite thing to do, especially on such a glorious day as this.  The early afternoon sun was reaching it’s pinnacle of sultry heat and I was just glad I had put the top down before I started on my journey home. The few cars that were on this stretch of highway slowly disappeared and pretty soon I was alone.  An eerie feeling. 
 
In the distance I spotted a car stopped by the side of the road.  As I drew closer I saw it’s hood was up and steam was pouring from underneath.  I slowed as I passed it and noticed a pair of long muscular leather clad legs poking from out the passenger side.  There was no movement.  I pulled in to the side and stopped my car.  Hesitantly (you hear such stories these days, I heard my mother saying) I walked up to the ailing vehicle to see if I could offer assistance.  Peering inside I saw it’s occupant.
