@luciia by @iamkristiangreat   As a Young Hitchhiker, He Survived a Ride with a Serial Killer. Now He’s Telling His Story. Every hitchhiker has a story.

It’s about a guy in his seventies, who lost his wife a decade ago. We won’t spoil anything, but the way memory is written into his everyday life while he farts around the house is so spot on. He’ll see a pot, for instance, which will spiral him into 20 pages of montage-memories with his wife.
