An Open Letter to a Hit-And-Run Driver WELL, you got away with it. So far, anyway. Os course you’re still a bit nervous. You are startled by doorbells; your palm sweats when you pick up the morning paper; your mouth gets dry when a stranger seems to stare at you. For there is just a possibility that some chance passer-by saw you. But your pulse is beginning to behave again. Each passing day brings added safety. If it will make you feel any better, you may never be caught. But, my craven fellow, you’ll never escape yourself! You’ll never escape the shame of having killed a child and run away. You’ll never escape the aching, burning memory that, faced with the test, you preferred cowardice to courage. You will live the rest of your days bluffing yourself into believing that you didn’t have time to think (although life’s crises are not scheduled for men’s convenience); that anybody else would have done the same thing (although you don’t dare tell anybody else) ; and that it wasn’t murder, but just an accident (as though people hid themselves after accidents). The days will be trying, but not so bad compared with the nights, when you lie awake with your conscience and when, having fallen asleep at last, dreams steal into your tired brain to reenact that scene of secret shame. Yes, the nights will be hard. A thousand times you will wish to release that pent-up shame, to scream: "I killed a child and ran away!” It would make you feel better, but you won’t do it. Listen: You didn't get away with a thing;! And you know ill
