+On a Greyhound...
+
+I'm in South Carolina, or maybe Georgia. A long way from Maine - don't remind
+me. Or do.
+
+I have made it out of Lewiston.
+
+The most tearful goodbye was my sidekick with whom I have resolved to join in
+four months. I'm considering returning to Lewiston because I am so worried
+about her alone in the colloquial "dirty Lew". Atlanta is 130 miles away, so
+this must not be Georgia.
+
+I wouldn't go to Hell if it was the only way I could see her. But if it was the
+only remaining way to see my sidekick I would think about departing every hour.
+Now the notion for myself is out of the question, completely, absolutely, not
+even by accident. I'm more careful now. Fewer risks taken. Healthier choices.
+Which isn't to say our separation would destroy us. We take measures to ensure
+minimal if any codependency. But a wrongful separation, too soon or too early,
+would.
+
+The skyline has McDonald's, Arby's, Exxon. It could be a Maine skyline if the
+Makku didn't have neon on its fringe, if the gas station was by a different
+name, if there wasn't also a Waffle House. I hadn't seen a BP gas station in
+my life until Virginia or so when I first noticed a "green Irving".
+
+Anderson, South Carolina. I need to take my estrogen. Done. I am so thoroughly
+farther from the place from which I was I can already scarcely remember the
+sparse urbanoid environment. The forested ghetto.
+
+The local accent has in common with mine that Atlanta is "et LANna". I wonder
+what the older, thicker Maine accent would say.
+
+Next stop: Gainsville, Georgia, if I spelled it right. I'd like to go to a
+Waffle House. I wonder if they have vegan options.
