I walked over there to check to make sure there were no injuries. The kid was obviously drunk and distraught. I didn't want to get involved, but the people that did stop were doing nothing to keep him or themselves out of the road (It's dark AND foggy.) So I begrudgingly took charge and got him out of the road, and the next thing I know, I'm the only one there with him, and the cops haven't even arrived yet! So much for good Samaritans.
I think that kid deserves one of his very own signs!!!
Gary, thank you for your condolences regarding the rejection of my novel. If you don't mind I'd like to share the rejection letter with the group. I am going to start another novel soon and make another try at it. I'll have to buy a new box of crayons. I hope potential editors understand that writing an entire novel in crayon is very expensive and time consuming.
