Less Than Nothing
“It’s dark by the time the cloudbursts are over, and we reluctantly emerge from the climate-controlled restaurant into the muggy stifle of a late summer Tennessee night.
A maroon Buick sedan picks us up and gets us as far as a rest stop between Nashville and Knoxville at half past one in the morning, where the talkative self-declared traveling salesman driver turns off the highway to disappear into the night. There aren’t many cars on the road, so the area’s eerily quiet. The surrounding mountai...ns are still, blanketed in fog. I’m just thankful that it’s not pouring down rain – I can deal with a night sleeping on a concrete picnic bench, but it really sucks in the rain.
We have the rest stop to ourselves, so we drop our stuff by one of the tables, and Derek goes to the bathroom to rinse away any remaining dried blood and wash up. I sit back, tired and cranky now that my brilliant idea of going to Memphis turned into an epic disaster. There’s no cell service in the hills, so I content myself with staring at the distant constellations, imagining how many other people around the world are also sitting watching the stars at that very moment.MoreLess
