Fate
by Bryce McKay Weyerman
A missed turn.
Rerouting directions.
Accidental detour.
Taking the scenic route.
The long way home.
The back roads.
Low fuel.
Recognition.
Worry.
Dread.
40 miles in either direction.
Pushing limits.
No chance.
Stopping to ask for help.
Houses.
A lodging.
A sign.
Rosette.
A kind soul.
A friendly face.
Introductions.
Exchanging of names.
An old nickname.
Brick.
Goodbyes and thanks.
Driving into the distance.
Now a found memory.
