Outstanding.
That was just great.
Your storytelling is great, and the whole flash literally shines with quality.
The flash can be extremely tense and suspenseful, but then also become pretty relieving..
Some things, you might expect, others, you might not.
The sound was also good, as per just about all of your other flashes.
The ending... It really is suitable, despite what others may think... It really breaks that stereotype of "crazy looking-psycho, big-mouthed guy with weapon is going to kill the other guy", and it's really unexpected. I mean... Would people really prefer an ending where the guy ended up killing the hitch hiker, and then the story just ends right there, leaving you thinking "WTF happened", and then you're mad because you think that was stupid...
The fact that it's a true story also left me wondering quite a bit, even though I've pretty much have never hitch hiked, it really gave me something to think about...
Anyway, it's simply a great flash, I shall look forward to more of your future flashes.
