Vanessa looks to the left of the road. She thinks to herself, about how long she has been driving. She recalls leaving at a litle after nine. With almost eight hours of driving behind her, she realizes she should take a break. Atleast for some lunch and gas. After that thought had exited her mind, she saw signs for Lincolin Nebraska. How fortunate.. she thinks to herself.

Just her luck, her most favorite song comes on the radio. The Dj didn’t even announce it first. The song was just next on rotation. She recognizes it instantly. Three notes into the intro, and she is singing along. No matter where she is or what she is doing, this song makes her happy. It has that feel good effect on her.

Ten more miles to go before she reaches Lincolin. As she gets closer, she can feel her hunger kick in. It starts as a slow nag, but then escilates to a strong relentless craving. She locates some lifesavers in her console. Hopefully they will keep her sane until the next rest stop exit.
