The car turns to the left and you crawl forward, edging down Downs Road. You're travelling through Hamden to visit someone, but you've become lost, and your GPS has become a broken record, repeating the word "recalculating" over and over. A young girl suddenly stepped out into the street and stuck her thumb up, indicating she needed a ride. As your car neared her, she walked farther out into the street, directly in front of you. The driver, your friend, slams the brakes, and you scream as the car doesn't stop in time. You've hit the girl. When you open your eyes again, she is standing, still with her thumb up, behind the car. You seem to have gone straight through her. Welcome to Downs Road, Hamden, Connecticut.
