ONE FOR THE ROAD

I cleared the snow off my car, and inside I discovered a body. He didn’t look like he was sleeping, he looked dead. It’s hard to explain the difference. The police and the paramedics came and loaded him into an ambulance. A policeman told me, Sometimes they break into cars for shelter overnight. Looks like he froze to death. Make sure to always lock your doors. I said I would, then, I think he took the change out of my ashtray. I need that money for tolls. The policeman blinked. I blinked. Somehow, he knew I was lying.
