At the moment she was sitting on the side of the road, watching as black smoke whirled out of her engine. It had started several miles before, as she was driving on some two lane, winding mountain road that was supposed to be a shortcut to where she had planned to spend the night. Having lost cell phone reception she didn’t have her GPS and she had to rely on an actual map. When her car had started sputtering and making a loud clinging noise, before dying completely with smoke coming out of it, she didn’t have a choice but to sit on the side of the road and come up with some sort of plan. She hadn’t passed a town or another car for miles, and a road sign would have been incredibly helpful as well. She was currently sitting in her car, turning the map this way and then that way to see if she could figure out where she was only to come up short and scream in frustration. She should have known and she should have stayed home, but when she had been unable to pay her rent in her small one bedroom city apartment she had decided to go somewhere cheaper. You could be a waitress anywhere, and she was tired of the East Coast. She didn’t have an exact plan of where to go, but she had her sights set on the midwest. There was just something about living in a small town of farmers, where everyone knew everyone, that appealed to her and she had planned to just drive until she came to a town that ‘spoke to her.’ Her friends had told her she was crazy and her parents had told her to just move home to Maine, but she wanted something new. less
