"Karmen had started feeling exactly like her first car; old, unpleasant to see, slow, missing pieces, torn, and suffering from a bit too many breakdowns, each leaving it worse than before." ~~~~~ Have you ever felt that way before? Felt like the walls around you are closing in and slowly suffocating you while everyone else stares on, oblivious to your suffering. Then you know how Karmen felt. This is the story of Karmen Clark and how all of life's twists and turns, cruel tricks and jokes, how the consequences of her choices and the casualties of fate lead her to an unexpected path, one which just might change her fate. ~~~~~ Just a heads up, this story isn't exactly about dogs. Its about what the dog in the story represents.
