Flat Tire

David, a medical Doctor, leaves from a weekend visit at his sister and her husband’s home, also their global warming research center, in the desert, twenty-five miles from the nearest highway. While driving the down twenty-five mile, sand-packed road to the highway, he has a flat tire 10 miles from his sister’s home. It’s dark, cold, and David soon has a Close Encounter of the Third kind that has intergalactic romance possibilities; truly a long, long, long, range romance.
