Miss May

bare bumming a ride

Standing by the side of the road, Janice stood very still, and very naked.

 

In one hand, she held up a sign with her destination scribed in bold, red letters. In the other, she held up a thumb. The girl needed to get to New York City.

 

You see, Janice had an audition at a prestigious art school later that afternoon. She could barely believe that she was only an audition away from landing a job as a figure-drawing model.

 

Rather than drive to the city, Janice figured she could save on gas money and get some practice in prior to auditioning by hitchhiking, naked. And it just so happened to be a glorious day to be naked- the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and there wasn't a cloud to be seen.

 

Janice just hoped that whoever picked her up didn't have a molten-hot leather passenger seat.
