Above, Steven and Megan, inside their broken down recreational vehicle by the side of a creek. They had no heat, electricity and, of course, no plumbing, and it was seriously cold that night. One corner of the couch reeked of urine, so I moved to a beat up armchair. where Steven wrapped me up in a comforter and some rug.

They had fallen in love over a Van Morrison song.

Steven, 41, studied education in college, but never got a degree, then he worked for 16 years at the Mellow Mushroom Pizza headquarters in Atlanta, before he quit. He couldn't take office life anymore, not even in a hippie company. A deadhead, Steven's been to 47 shows, and once lived in a bus with four other people.

Megan, 36, studied broadcasting in college, then worked as a whore for three years at the Mustang Ranch near Reno, then at Fox News for five years.

Megan's mom gave her her first shot of whiskey at 7, then shot heroin into her at 11. Her stepdad, the only dad she knew, married six times. Owning a golf course, the guy was rich, and he did take care of his stepdaughter.

When Megan was 28, she won $1,400 at a casino, so she got fucked up to celebrate. She remembers getting into a taxi, getting out, then jumping off a bridge over the railroad tracks. That's why she's in a wheelchair now, with steel rods in her legs and left arm.

"What's the weirdest thing you had to do as a whore?" I asked.

"Well, there was this one judge who liked to have his balls washed in the bidet!"
