STORY STARTER

Write a story about a character who gives a pair of hitchhikers a ride. They get in the car and immediately burst into laughter; why?

Hidden In Plain Sight

“Hey! Need a ride?”


The man and woman on the side of the road turn and nod.


“Hop in.”


They climb in and immediately start laughing hysterically. I frown, suspiciously.


“What is so funny?”


“You giving us a ride.”


“I don’t see what’s funny about that.”


“No one has ever given us a ride before. Normally we’ll just take one.”


“Oh. Well I’m glad I could help.”


They start to laugh again, even harder now. Then they look at each other and nod.


“Miss, we’re going to have to commandeer your car.”


Next thing I know, they shoved me out and drive away. I bite my lip in frustration.


“Really!?”


And here I thought they were a nice couple down on their luck. Well, I won’t be doing that again. And now


they’ve made an enemy that they will regret making. If they even survive the manhunt, that’ll start as soon


as I get home.
