Zephyr II
Page 40
It’s a long ride to Louisiana, but we get through the rambling southern outskirts of Atlantic City by nightfall and the Virginia countryside is a soothing tonic for two good-hearted outlaws on horseback such as we are. As the evening gathers her cloak around us, we pull off among the reclaimed farmland and cut through a field and let ourselves into one of the many old barns abandoned under the amalgamation regime of the German agri-corps. After bare-backing in the straw, Loren collapses backwards into me and we kiss for longer than I could’ve once deemed necessary and then we share a few nips from a bottle of Jacks for our dinner and sleep comes with surprising ease. By dawn, a creaky light stealing through the rat-holes and ancient cracks in the warped, time-greyed wood, a new resolve is on my stomach and we rise early, determined to cross half the country by day’s end.
