A Peaceful Moment In Travel

Vanessa feels exhilirated. She is embarking on a new adventure. She is finally able to see and do things, she has only dreamed about. Images traverse through her head about Wyoming, and further out west. When she would get bored, she would day dream about places she has never been.

She enjoys this liberating feeling she has. She is finally doing things on her own terms. She finally feels like she broke free from all that binds her to Ohio. Layetteville was such a dreadful, boring place. And it was slowly driving her insane. She felt suffocated in the small town environement. And the small town people that resides in it.

She consults the clock it is now almost two in the afternoon. The road ,currently isn’t giving her any clues, as to where she is exactly. She looks down at her navigation system..She is in central Nebraska. So, apparently she is making good time. The clouds buffer the light from the sun, casting shadows down on the road. As they drift across the sky.A peaceful moment.
