Stream of Conciousness: What should I do?

I drove the back roads home today. Took East Avenue.

As I rounded the bend, it was the second time I saw her.

I almost hit her. Her feet were in the road. She was leaning on the telephone pole.

Sleeping? Passed out. Drunk?

What will I do to help her?

The first time I saw her she was on the sidewalk. Sprawled out. Eyes shut and heart beating.

What's her story?

Should I pull over?

It's hard to know where to start or what to say.

I refuse to ignore my memories of this moment and I'm never going to forget her.

I must act. But will she hear me? Will she see me? Will she respond?

I hope there's a next time.
