Road to Somewhere
by Susan Frankovich
~~~~~~~

On a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, a
man is walking.

He's a tall man with dark brown hair, and
he walks with a limp. His clothes are dirty,
tattered, and faded from the sun, but he
doesn't care.

He's just happy to be wearing something.

His face is pale and scarred, his lips
blistered, his throat dry, and he longs
for a drink of water, a scrap of food,
anything to put inside his mouth...anything
to give him strength so that he can get to
where he's going.

He doesn't know where he's going, but he
knows that it's somewhere, and he knows
that when he finally does get there, someone
will be waiting for him.

At least, he hopes so.

Several people have driven past him on this
road today, but no one has offered to help
him. No one has even looked at him, but he
doesn't care.

He's just happy to have his feet on the
ground.

Perhaps as the day goes on, someone will
eventually stop and ask him who he is and
where he's going.

But he won't know what to say if they do.

All he knows is that he's going somewhere,
away from where he was.
