Rowena sat out by an open road. It wasn't busy, but why would it be? She was in pretty much the middle of nowhere.
She stood up, wiping dirt off the back of her shorts. She went down towards the woods, only to be followed by a stray dog in the area. She stopped and turned, hearing the footsteps follow her.
"Hi, little guy." She bent down to match his gaze.
The small terrier-type dog looked at Rowena with small, beady eyes and wagged its tail. It had no collar, so she knew for a fact it was stray.
Down the trail Rowena and the dog went, only to meet a dead end. A turn to the left, and a turn to the right, and there it was. The busy road. The way to her finally getting home. But when nightfall came, she'd have to go back... there was no way she was staying out in the city at night. Many horrible, horrible things could happen out here. Especially at night. And Rowena was not about to have any of it happen to her.
