Highway to Heaven? ( Bizarre but true!) A little after 11:00 p.m., the highway was utterly deserted. The rain beat down in sheets causing the car to hydroplane often as I griped the wheel knuckles white. We were alone in a dark so thick you could feel it grab at you. The only sound was the rain assaulting the roof and the swoosh swoosh of the windshield wipers. Divorced for two years, I was still terrified going it alone with a 7, 5 and 4 year old. How could I stay out so long alone with the...

This was good, "A person shouldn’t be allowed to go around spreading false information, like a polluted fire hydrant that kids refresh themselves with"...
I liked this. The only thing that kept me from giving you a 10 was you forgot to cap I-Something i knew and "yet i shared". Minor point. My favorite line? "The venom is lust"
To me, the first three paragraphs were a little difficult. A bit confusing when you talk about what seems to be two trips and having time for a drink or two.
