Weeping Willow was a place that survived by serving long-distance drivers, with petrol, food and girls. The truck driver was badly shaken as he arrived there in the dark and rain, but more shaken when he left.

Part of the Storycuts series, this short story was previously published in the collection Madwoman on the Bridge.
