I hunt along the rusty Steel river… Eerie hulks list and careen; weeds grow out of the crazed asphalt. When cars ran out of gas on I-95, travel halted on the east coast. Anything salvageable is long gone.

The seats and mirrors are missing, but the trunk is still latched. How did this get missed by the others? The lock gives, and I find-  2 blankets and a box of powerbars. A corner of the carton is gnawed, but most bars are whole. Enough to trade.

Today is a good day, I think, as the cold sun reflects off my face.
