On the Memorial Day weekend, Mason Hayes, the student my wife, Abigail Sullivan, had been sponsoring, insisted on riding with me back to his hometown.
My car was small, the drive was long, and the trunk was already packed. There was no way to fit another adult, so I turned him down as politely as I could.
That night, Abigail came home and stayed quiet for a long time before finally saying, "He ended up walking along the highway. His feet were torn up."
I frowned, trying to make sense of it. "It's a holiday weekend. There are Ubers everywhere. He could've booked one in minutes."
She nodded softly, the same gentle expression she always wore, and poured me a glass of water.
I drank it.
The next thing I knew, everything went black.
When I opened my eyes again, I was standing under a brutal midday sun on an empty stretch of highway. Abigail leaned into Mason's shoulder, holding her phone up as she livestreamed. There was a faint smile on her lips, but there was nothing warm about it.
"You said getting around was easy, right? Why don't you try walking home yourself?"
The livestream was packed. The chat flooded with messages, people placing bets on how far I would make it.
I looked straight into the camera, ran my tongue over my cracked lips, and said, "Done enjoying the show? Now come and pick me up."
