    Destination Wichita“How far do I have to drive before I find someone I know?” That was really the question of the day for Edward as he absently stared at the tail lights 50 yards ahead of him. He was never a big fan of these long drives and this was really one for the record book. He looked down at his white knuckles gripping the wheel and tried his best to slow his breathing.It was route 70 to St. Louis and then, his destination, www.onedoor.ccWichita.

    Winning Ticket Blues

    One in forty-seven million. Those were the odds of winning. The thought never even crossed Sarah’s mind while buying the ticket. It was nothing but a piece of paper, good to be shoved in her pocket in the name of a vague daydream and discarded after the wrong numbers had been drawn. Yet, there she was, paralyzed in the middle of the living room, one of the winning combinations in her hand.It was as though the walls were caving in, ready to crush her. She put on her coat and rushed out of the microscopic apartment into the snowstorm. Something about the bone-chilling cold eased her terror in th...u6xone door
