13. An Ambulance and an Ogre
Jonny breaks his solo streak as he sprints south toward a full-moon gathering in Macedonia. After landing in Belgrade, he falls into an easy, platonic rhythm with Beyza, a soft-spoken Turkish MD, and the two decide to hitchhike together to Skopje. The road answers with set pieces worthy of a fable: a ride in a brand-new ambulance, a Macedonian traffic-cop instructor who forbids seatbelts and leaves the car rolling backward, and a night with a kind, chaotic host, an “ogre” in his cave, whose attic refuge becomes their fort. Along the way Jonny tests what changes when travel becomes us instead of me: the risk, the laughter, and the unexpected sense of safety. As the moon swells, they part ways, Beyza north, Jonny into the woods, on the edge of whatever opens next.Created and produced by Jonny Wright. Title design by Ellen Misloski.
