Subject: Setting the phone back on its receiver,

...Josie's hand froze. Was this it? Was it time? She shivered slightly from the chill of the room against her wet skin. Sighing deeply, she shook her head backwards, sending long tendrils of damp hair flying against her shoulders. She took one last long look at the black instrument her hand was resting on then hurried into the next room to dress. Having thrown on a pair of old sweats, a T-shirt, and her tennis shoes, she grabbed her bag and headed out the door. Pausing momentarily, she looked around undecidedly. Should she take it? Would she be able to pull it off a second time? Not wanting to waste any more time, she walked over to the corner of the living room where she had last thrown it, picked it up, and buried the dirty blond wig deep into the bottom of her bag. It never hurt to be prepared, just in case….

Closing the door behind her, she felt a pit in the bottom of her stomach. When she returned, what would her life be like? Each time she left this place, she never knew what surprises life would throw at her before she returned. It was almost expected at this point that nothing good would happen in her life. Strangely enough, she didn't really care anymore. Nothing mattered to her anymore. She has already lost everything that had mattered to her.

Josie barely remembered the drive over. The roads were filled with the usual amount of traffic that normally annoyed her. Her hair dried quickly as the wind from the windows blew the long strands about her face. The houses and businesses whizzed past her car window as she raced to her destination, but she noticed none of it, so deep in thought was she. Even pulling into the familiar parking lot failed to pull her out of her thoughts. It was only when she ran up to the building did her thoughts pull her up short. Her steps slowed to a crawl. She gulped in the fresh morning air till it fairly choked her. She stopped just short of the entrance, afraid to go on.

She rummaged through her bag, pulling out a crumpled photograph. Staring at the faces looking back at her for several minutes, she shoved it back into the depths of her bag. Taking a deep breath, she put one foot in front of the other and continued on with her journey.

(To be continued after Steph posts again...you KNOW what I'm talking about, right Steph??? ;)
