Stories to be Read with the Lights On 26: The One Who Got Away by Al Nussbaum


The next story in the book is 'The One Who Got Away' by Al Nussbaum. And I know this story! But I feel like I know it from somewhere else, maybe? I don't remember reading it as a teenager. I know what the punchline is though!


Maybe I'm remembering this one from when I first read the Hitchcock book, but if so I'm remembering it very clearly! It feels almost like one of those lateral thinking puzzles... a guy drives over the US/Mexico border each night, but never drives back again. What is he smuggling?
