22 Years later

While glancing through the various online articles in the Record Searchlight, I come across an interesting one. A month before I was born, A Mount Shasta man was accused of firing shots into a police station. He posted bail ($10,000) then took off and has been on the run for the past 22 years. That's my entire life time. He was recently found in Oregon. "It puts my life span into perspective," I muse to myself silently.

Pandora hums lightly in the background and the sunlight streaks through the windows casting light halway across my face. I twist in my chair to block it.

The summer is waning on and my life is beginning to take a clear path.
