HIGHWAY 16 | Short Story

Eliya is a sixteen-year-old girl who is in way over her head. When her best friend convinces her to attend a party full of older teenagers, she has to figure out how to take care of her friend and, most importantly, how to get home.

Living in a rural area is a pain, but living off the infamous Highway 16 - better known as The Highway of Tears - could be a death sentence.

Eliya tries to do what's right. She doesn't drink, she takes care of her best friend, and she tries to prove her best friend's prejudiced parents wrong. But, are her sacrifices really worth it?
