...You know. I never thought it would come to this. Well, actually that's a lie. The thought did cross my mind back in Willits but it was brief and I didn't entertain it. I didn't much care for the dread that surged through my body when it came into me so I pushed it out.
A wiser man probably would have planned for this. But than again it takes a fool to get where I'm at. I'm sitting on a cool 720 grand, perched out on top of this mountain pass watching the sun rise over the misty Chapel Lake. There is a little white church house across the way. Quant.
I've got about 2 hours before they find me and I don't really like to think about what they'll do to me if or when that happens. You know that whole dread thing? Yeah.
I have a few options to consider: like maybe, stuffing my pockets with whatever cash I can and driving this Cadillac off the cliff into that lake. I'd make for the hills and hope they don't have dogs. I bet they do. Or there are more... let's just say, grisly alternatives. I might get lucky, but than again I can't remember the last time that happened. Actually, that's a lie too, because even though I have to do something here soon, honestly right at this very moment the only thing I can think about are those blue eyes and possibly getting them to one of those little white chapels one day. A man can dream, right?
That literally was the "luckiest" day of my life. If Only I'd Stayed with Evelyn.
... is a fictional story I started writing today because I've just been driving and I wanted to post something you guys could sink your teeth into! Haha. I wrote it in about a half an hour on my phone. Trust me, I'm not really sitting on that much cashola. And Evelyn is completely fiction. Willits is real though. I stayed at a Super 8 there, although it did kind of have that odd X-Files type towny feel to it.
Anyway, I'll see you guys tomorrow at my home town of Clinton, Iowa. I'll be there first thing in the morning. Than I'm going west toward this goofy Carousel museum on the border of Kansas so I can head back east through Missouri. After that I have got a surprise for you guys. Not really. But it's something I've wanted to go see for a long time. I might even upload a video about it. But it's probably closed or something like that. We'll see. Either way I'm excited.
God bless. Goodnight.
