Eksempel:	You drive most of the night,...
	You drove most of the night,...

You drive most of the night, until the U-Haul needs gas. A few hours’ sleep at a rest stop in southern Wyoming, then a plate of hash browns at a nearby Waffle House, hunched over your coffee like the cowboys at the counter. You drive on the rest of the day, and the next time you refuel you’re in Nebraska. At the pump across from yours is an oversized blue pickup. There’s a lawn chair in the bed, and a lady in the chair with her feet propped up on a plastic cooler. Her face is tilted to the sky, and her cheeks and bare shoulders are sunburned. She catches you staring and she grins. Then a man comes out of the minimart and hands her an iced tea before climbing into the driver’s seat and starting up the truck. The lady swigs her tea and calls, Cheers! in your direction as the pickup speeds away.  It takes you another day and a half, but suddenly you’re sitting in Manhattan traffic and turning onto your sister’s block in the Lower East Side. [...] You recognize the Flat Six tire-shop sign on the ground floor of her building. When your sister comes down to let you in, her face is red and wet with tears. [...] She holds you in a long hug and then carries your duffel up four flights of stairs. The carpenter boyfriend [...] stands to greet you. Cal Shook, “Man, Man Et Cetera”, 2022
