The Saved", first published in The Clackamas Review in 2001 and also as part of the bonus material included in the 2005 deluxe slipcased edition of 20th Century Ghosts, was reprinted in December 2007 as part of PS Publishing's annual Holiday Chapbook series, available, free of charge, to subcribers of the quarterly magazine Postscripts. It's the story of an average guy who picks up a hitch hiker one stormy night, and his life very well may not be the same after that. Don't worry this is not your typical "hitch hiker" story.
