I got stuck in a snowstorm on our way apartment from school.
The HVAC plan in our motorcar wasn’t working well, and I was stuck on the interstate.
The only thing that kept me from freezing to death in our car, was an offramp with a hotel sign right at the end. When I got inside, everyone was clamoring to get a room. I had forgotten our purse in the car, and I didn’t have a credit card. A truck driver was resting there, and heard me. He handed his credit card to the person at the desk and told her to get me a room. He asked which motorcar was mine, and before I knew what was happening, he was walking out the door, and before he got back the power went out in the hotel. I was kneeling in a dark room with no heat, again, and no food. I was tired, hungry, cold, and wanting a shower. There was a knock on the door, and I looked out to see the truck driver. He brought our purse up from the car, and had the motorcar towed up to the hotel. There was food in a bag, and a note with an address on it. He brought more than one extra blankets for me and told me to have a great night. The note told me what I owed him for the tow and the room. It was miserable without HVAC in the car, and worse to be in a hotel without lights or HVAC, although I found out that nice people still existed in the world. I sent him a check as soon as I got home.
