Autostop

Sebastian Manning

A hitch, a road story, a love journey


"You weren’t supposed to be a walker here, but he walked, all the while on roads without pavements, with his canvas bag over his shoulder. He welcomed the familiar words on the side of the trucks – Norbert Denstressangle, MSC, Maersk, Stobart, Westfield. These are Road names, Road words.."

Alex needs to get off 'the island'. He hitches to Paris and down the A10 - into the undergrowth, seeking anonimity, searching for a peace.

This is a road trip love story, Alex was so in love it consumed him ,chewed him up and spat him out again. Betty has come and gone and gone away again, like she always did. So he heads for the A10, like he always did. But this time it must be for good, it has to be - because of what happened in London

"Road man! Ha! You're just a messed up kid on the run"
"But on the run is cool. At least I've got something to run away from"

This is a work in progress - still with some of my notes in it. But would like some feedback as I'm getting stuck even if you think it's crap let me know.

ok? i read the first story as someone who has done his fair share of potato picking and other menial jobs I recognise the people and the setting. you're on to a good thing here, so far so good, but all i can say - even knowing that these are shorts - SLOW DOWN!

tony, jane, kim, thanks all for the useful and encouraging comments - and for backing the book! yes the linear aspect of the book is one i know needs adressing, and it has always been the intention to create the 'flashbacks' to break it up - the note to myself has always been "show how much he... view book
