The Chronicles of
Eve
The blackness of the night was rushing at Eve and her mother as they drove down the highway. Eve was restless, and couldn't keep her mind on anything as they drove on except one thing, the future. She and her mother Tessa were fleeing from their home in Chicago to a hopfully better life who knows where. At this time of night Eve couldn't  even think of the name of that small town they were headed for. All she knew was that she wanted to get there fast. And as she finally drifted to sleep, she imagined all the possiblities that awaited her..................
The next morning...
  Eve awoke with a shiver. The sun was blinding her through the car window. As she yawned she saw her mother's strained look. She rolled back over in search of a book on the car floor.  All she found that even resembled a book was a 'Car Parts' magazine.
  "Mom, what the hell is this here for?" she asked. Neither she, nor her mother had much interest in cars.
   "What do I know? I let your uncle Roy borrow the car last week. Its probably his."
Yeah maybe, Eve thought to herself.
  "Can we stop somewhere soon? I wanna get a book."
  "Yeah sure, I'm getting kinda hungry anyway."
