You have no idea how much I love this story. None. Since I read it, this passage has been a regular on my AIM away messages:
Sometimes he sees her turning to talk to someone who isn't there and he knows she's looking for the same ghost he's looking for.
But it's just the two of them, and always has been since they started driving. They never fight. Oh, they argue, they disagree, they debate, but at the core is that solid bedrock of love and friendship that links the two of them together in comfortable companionship. Him and her. Her and him. They are two against the world trying to find a place in the world.
Except the world doesn't seem to want them.
Sometimes he thinks he's going crazy. Sometimes he thinks that he's completely sane. Sometimes he's not sure which of these options scare him more.
I always put it up in the hopes that someone would read it and say "Hey, wow, what's that from?" And I could say "Oh, man, it's this short story, it's really great, you have to read it."
