She sat behind the wheel. Tears flowing down her cheeks. No one around but the crickets who were singing their nightly song. A song that use to bring joy to her heart. It just sounded hollow and as fake as the rest of the world at that given moment to her. She gripped the steering wheel in front of her. The keys dangled but did nothing more than that for the time being. She was just there to be alone for a little while. To try to lick the wounds to her broken soul. At least that is how it started out for her.

She was so angry at the world at that moment. Pissed off that everything around her seemed to keep moving forward when for her it seemed to have stopped at that given moment. For her there really was not a reason she should go on. It made her angry that the rest of the world did not see it her way. 

How could she lose everyone she loved so quickly? How was could another human being do to her what had been done? She had been told that God would make it right but at that moment, it felt more as if he had abandoned her. Forced her to live the life now given to her. A life that many would say that she should be grateful for but in truth, she was not.

It was with these thoughts in her head that she started the car. She had to run away. Escape the pain some how. She did not know where she was going. The truth was she did not care. She just wanted out. She wanted to not feel anything. She felt that feeling numb was better than the razor sharp pain that slashed at her soul with every breath she took into her lungs.

She arrived at the highway in record time. Not sure how she got there. Not caring. It was like a flash in the pan that the idea hit her. The highway was dark. No one on the road. That was one of the good things about living in a small town on a Monday night at that given moment. All the sidewalks were pulled up and everyone was tucked in their beds. It was just her and the dark veil that surrounded her. There was no one else in that moment but her. That meant there would be no one to stop her from what she was about to do.
