Sitting on a ramp to the Mass Pike in a light rain, all Meghan could think about was incense and peppermints. With a naive optimism only available to a fifteen-year-old, she takes to the road with a rucksack containing the entirety of her earthly possessions, and a Buck knife on her belt for security.

As will become something of a leitmotif, Meghan, much like Blanche DuBois, is dependent on the kindness of strangers.
