The Randomness of a Unkept Mind

Look at Kanye West then.  And look at him now.  Its like he was telling us his future.  And not in a good way. 

wow that was a lot longer then i thought it be.  sorry. 

It was a silent drive.  Neither of them were much in the mood for talking.  She never saw Tom act like that before.  He acted angry, selfish, and flat out mad.  It was amazing.

She stared at him for several minutes trying to work up the nerve to say something.

“So are you alright?”

The only sound after that were the tires roaring over the wet pavement as they drove.

Tom sighed before he spoke “Sarah its not that I don’t know where I’m going, which I do.  Its that no one knows where we need to be.”

“What do you mean?”

He stared off at the road as he drove.

“Tom its ok.  You can tell me.”

“Are you sure you want to know?”  He stared at her.  She thought it was weird to stare since he was also driving.

“Yes, I want to know.”

Tom took a deep breath “Well I hate to break it to you like this Sarah.  But…were dead.”

More silence.

“What do you mean by dead?”

He stared at her “We no longer breathe air.  Our souls have passed on from the world.  We don’t exist in the land of the living.”

She didn’t know how to react to such a statement so she stared out the window until she started to notice.

“Tom it was just snowing….”

“The weather has been changing constantly.  At one point we were driving along a beach.  I liked that.  But the road, weather, everything changes every hour or so.”

“But why?” Sarah asked.

“Well after I yelled and yelled at that gas station attendant for directions I kind of figured were in the in between place.”

“In between place?”

“Well I think its called purgatory but if this is purgatory it sucks.”

Sarah stared off for awhile as they drove along.  Sometimes she would notice other cars around them but as soon she looked to see what was in them they would disappear.

“I bet you’re wondering how long we’ve been traveling.”

she nodded.

“Well Sarah I have no clue.  Just know we started here and thats about it.”

“So are we going to be in this car forever?”

“Or until we find our exit.”

“Exit?”

“I think we need to find the right place to get off.  The right road to lead us to the end.  When were ready will find it.”

“But you already sound like your ready.”

“I am.  But you need to be ready.  I’m not going anywhere without you Sarah.”

They drove hours, days, minutes.  It seemed to last forever or as if 5 minutes went by.

Suddenly she shot up in there seat  “Tom turn there!”

“Are you sure?  Are you really sure?”

“Yes.  I’m as sure as I can be.”

They exited from there winter highway and turned onto a smaller two lane road that went thru some corn fields.

“Sarah this isn’t looking good….”

“Pull into that parking lot.”

“What parking lot….” Then Tom started to see glimpses of the parking lot thru the fog.

“Sorry, its hard to see thru this fog.”

“What fog?”  Sarah gave him a concerned look.

“Never mind.  Are you sure this is right.”

“Positive.”

Then Tom and Sarah parked at the train station.

**Then she turned the page**

This we know, if for no other reason because people continue to bring it up. 

What I don’t hear too much of are solutions.
