He was in a plane crash.

Waiter interrupts as he was about to tell her how he survived his mangled and smashed bones.

Now they're reading letters instead of having nookie.

He needs to make an urgent phone call.

He's got off the train and left her behind.

Back in the present.

She never saw him again.

She went to Louisiana to look for him.

Back into flashback mode.

A strange man has climbed out of a truck to talk to her.

She's asked him for a lift.

I wouldn't ask him for a lift, even if I had an assault rifle on me.

They're driving into the local woodland.

A branch is blocking their progress.

Snake.

Two men wrestling an apathetic looking gator.

Her driver is telling her how deadly the woods are.

They drive off but a tiny little alligator is in the way.

He chases it off with his truck.

Then shows off his hook, what is a replacement for a hand, that an alligator once removed for him.

She's arrived at a big house.
