Hitchhiked

Today I hitchhiked to work. I got a lift from an elderly woman. I thanked her and told her where I was going. She nodded and drove silently. I thought I should say something, but she seemed to enjoy silent driving. I relaxed and enjoyed the ride.

She dropped me off at work. I thanked her. She nodded and drove off.

I thought, “Maybe she was an angel.” But then I thought, just because someone is very quiet and kind doesn’t make them a winged happy time benefactor creature.
