What is the name of this short story and its author?
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009K B asked:
I vaguely remember the plot of this short story that I once read in a collection of short stories by the same author. I don’t recall his name, but I seem to remember that he was a British author.
Plot: a man drives his car on a very busy urban motorway somewhere in England. He crashes over the edge and plummets down into median that is overgrown with weeds and bushes. The car disappears into this vegetation, thus nobody knows that he crashed. He is injured, broken leg, etc., so he is unable to climb out of this place. His food is whatever rubbish other passing drivers throw out their windows. He is stuck there alone, but ironically just feet away thousands of drivers pass him by. Along the way this crazy woman (who lives in some shack somewhere in this median) finds him and sort of takes him in. I can’t recall any more details.

There was this book I read a few years back but I can’t remember the title or the author. It was about a girl who’s father had passed away and she lived with her mom and a sister. The beginnig of the book started with something like “If I had a penny for eveytime my sister passed by a miror and looked at herself I would be rich.” It’s a novel and I remember that in the cover there was a picture of a desk and the words toby was here was carved in but im not sure if that was the title because I searched yahoo and nothing came up. So if anyone could tell me the name and author of this book I would really appreciate it. Thank You.
