A furniture dealer told his wife of an incident that had occurred during a recent trip to Mississippi. He recalled how he had met Byron, Lena, and the baby, who were in search of a ride to no specific destination just farther down the road. When they stopped for the night, the couple asked to sleep in the bed of the truck. Around the campfire, the man learned that the baby was not Byron’s and that the couple was searching for another, unnamed man. When it came time to go to sleep, Lena climbed into the truck. When Byron tried to climb in beside her, she spurned his advances and sent him off by the fire. Instead, Byron disappeared and did not return the next morning. Calmly, Lena packed up and continued along with the driver. Eventually, Byron appeared beside the road, and the truck slowed to pick him up. Riding side by side, two wanderers, not necessarily searching for anyone or anything, travelled deeper and deeper into Tennessee. Lena mused that she ha been farther in the past two months than in her entire life up to that point.
