'The Side of the Road'

Imagine the side of a road, there is a person there. Is that person male or female? Short? Tall? Thin? Fat? Is he/she looking towards the road or away from it? Perhaps he/she is lying down, injured or dead.
Perhaps he/she is looking at the number on a house, a piece of paper as a reference or maybe at something in the gutter or a car travelling along the road.

Is the person carrying anything? A torch maybe, or perhaps it’s daylight. It’s up to you to decide.

What is the weather like? Is it raining? Snowing? Sunny?

What we want this month is a short story of around 2000 words which must start at that roadside. Poets may write a poem of no more than 40 lines in any style but it must feature a road. Article writers can write an article on a road, possibly one they know and describe an incident on that road.
