Order Now
One night, she just tranced.
Mia was cold and too tired to sit in the back seat any longer. Tired of feeling cramped. She needed to get behind the wheel and put the key in the ignition.
"It's a beautiful night for a ride," she thought.
A beautiful night to wander in the tunnel of darkness she so often felt comfortable in, then. All she had to do was drive.
The canyons were so close. Just around the bend, practically. All there was to do was let go. Find the overlook without any guardrails, facing North Hollywood, and just keep going until the car rolled over the side. It could be so easy. It was so inviting. She could do it. No one would even notice.
