After cleaning my home, and leaving a note explaining my reasoning for my decision. I preyed that if there was a god, they would have mercy on my soul. and that if I was found, my body would be lay to rest besides y parents and Jacob...

leaving the church to miss Dorothy, everything was paid off. and left in her name.

leaving all of my belongings to my cousin Amber and Benjamin ...

After the losing my father to cancers, it had already been three years since I lost my husband to a drunk driver. deep down nothing was left of me. my heart had been ripped out of my chest it felt like...

if there was a god why was he so cruel, why everything I ever loved was taking from me..

why did this have to happened? I was nothing without them. I couldn't breath, couldn't sleep, couldn't eat.. there wasn't nothing left for me here.. nothing mattered, without them. why was I here? was I here to suffers?

so sudden my father cancer diagnosis came out of nowhere, We tried everything from chemotherapy to holistic, every doctor from Louisiana to New York and there was nothing.. on days there was progress while other ones felt like he was losing his battle...

I knew he was tired, he could look at him and seen it, weighing only a 100 pounds, his once built body was now just skin and bones... I wasn't ready hell, he knew I wasn't ready.. I would cry nights, trying to understand the reasoning for all of this...

I praying that this wasn't it. that I could get more time.. I need more time it left like there wasn't much left.. every moment wasn't good enough I needed him more then life.. he was the only person left...

Grabbing my backpack and car keys. It will take a while for anyone to finds out. that's even if they did... 


As the rain poured against the truck like a thousand tiny fists. a constant reminder of the chaos I seemed to be driving into.

I pressed my foot harder on the gas pedal, the worn tires skimming over the muck of the dirt road that twisted and curled in front of me.

Visibility was practically nonexistent, a smudged painting on a canvas that could have been beautiful if only the storm hadn't seized it.

Just then, a deafening boom cracked through the air, causing me to jump and grip the steering wheel tighter.

The truck shuddered beneath me, its engine groaning a protest before coming to a halt. Panic clawed at my insides. I twisted the key in the ignition, but the engine merely coughed before falling silent.

Cursing under my breath, I flung open the door and stepped out into the rain.

It enveloped me instantly, cold and biting, but that was nothing compared to the heat radiating from under the hood.
