The night was as dark as it gets.
Tera picked up her backpack that held everything she owned and started her walk down the highway,
she could see light’s from and all night diner up ahead.

She was in between towns, jobs and lives really.
Stranded in the middle of nowhere,
going to God only knows where.

Life had been good early on.
She smiled thinking how she and her mom would get up early on Sundays and cook the family a big breakfast.
She thought about her mom until she remembered her slow agonizing death.
She was sixteen when she took on the responsibility for the house an her brother.

The family fell apart after her father was arrested for her mothers murder.
To this day she still didn’t understand why he did it.
Maybe it was to end her pain and suffering or it was to end his own.
Either way it was wrong.

She was close enough to the diner she could read the sign now.
“Pop’s Place” .

    Oooh! Drama! I like drama!
    Except when it’s in my own life, but that’s not the point now is it? :P

    Nice, even surprised me a little. I was expecting some typical emo, sad, teen girl reason for running away, the BAM . Good one. And you left a fair number of questions for the sequel.
