Say again
I had been placed in the position of Ward aid at the county mental institution. The facility actually took care of 2 counties, a geriatric population, and juvenile population so it was a rather large psychiatric campus. This was my work relief job that I had to maintain in order to receive any of my social services benefits such as food coupons, rent voucher, utility voucher and clothing allowance.

Flight
Angela remembered how, in that moment, the night felt infinite. The further she drove the smaller she felt. The downtown lights in their blended multitudes became sparse bars of strip malls and gas stations, until the only light left came from the starlike beads that lined the highway north. The treeless plains passed by in darkness without depth. She kept going. Dawn broke to spiderlike lightning that printed softly pink on an off-white sky, as though reaching down across the Midwest to pluck her from her northward escape. Looking at it reminded her of how small she had made herself by going...
