The Artist, Ch. 2

It didn't take long to encounter her first man.

This one drove by her on this country road in his pickup

stopped up ahead

considered

formulated a plan

and circled back.

It was always the same.

Some were subtle.

This one could barely speak english.

The quid pro quo was clear.

He worked at a hotel up ahead.

He had a room for her.

She ignored him and kept walking.

She pitched her small tent in a grove of trees between two corn fields.

It began to rain.

She missed Kate.
