Ever just get in the car and start driving, driving without any real need to go someplace? Cynthia loved to drive, and today was no different. She had a couple of extra days off so she packed a few essentials in a bag, jumped in he car and just started driving.
The music was good, as if every song that came through the speakers of her radio were dedicated to her. She sped down the road, not paying much attention to anything. Unfortunately for her, the thing that broke this trance was the sputter of her car as she ran out of gas.
"Shit, what the hell is wrong with me?" By this time it was evening, the sun was starting it's set behind the mountains. She wasn't positive where she was, she hadn't even been sure about where she was going, but here she was.
"I think I just passed an exit..." Cynthia thought. Every exit in New York State had a gas station close off of it. Could this be different? She had no gas can in her car, and didn't want to risk arriving at a station without any means to carry any fuel back. It was bad enough, she thought, to have run out of gas as a woman, let alone have no plan on how to remedy the situation.
Luckily, she never went anywhere these days without a big bottle of water. "I'll just take it with me, drink it as I go, and use that to carry some gas back here" She knew it wasn't the best plan, but perhaps where ever she ended up, the guy would have a sense of humor and admire her for her creative thought.
She had been wearing a cute little skirt, tank and her most fabulous "drivin'" heels, but was thankful she had the smarts to bring along her sneakers. Yeah, they were platform sneakers, but better to walk in then the heels. She changed her shoes, secured the car and off she went.
The area was pretty rural, only a few cars past. And of those, each one honked at her. "Must be the first real woman these parts have seen in a skirt no less" She was careful to hold her hands at her sides as the cars blew by her. Cynthia hated panty lines, and rarely wore any under garments. That is all she needed was to give any of these love starved honking freaks a show.
This walk was taking her much longer than she thought. If only she had given one of those cars a show, maybe they would have at least given her a ride.
Off in the distance Cynthia heard a car approaching. She heard it long before she saw the head lights. The car drove right by her, no honk. "Must be a chick", she said out loud. As it passed, she decided to lift her skirt, showing the rear view mirror her "rear". She laughed to herself at the pun she had made in her head.
She heard the car's motor was growing fainter in the distance. Then, strangely, it became louder again.
The car pulled up next to her on the other side of the road. "That your vehicle back there?"
"Yeah..." Cynthia answered to man in the driver's seat, still wearing his sunglasses even though the sun was almost completely gone.
"What's wrong with it?"
