The road ahead was endless. The sky tinted yellow and orange as you could see the sun come up in the far, far distance. You had no clue where you were, only that you were far gone from that place.

You just drove ahead. After being kept inside for years, of course you weren't familiar with the roads. The only clues that told you where you were are the big 'Welcome' boards at every town you passed.

In the rear view mirror, you could see Billy start to wake up. He had dozed off once you hit the road. But now as he sat up, you could see the cuts and bruises Nigel had left on him. But Nigel was left far behind along with Billy's dad. And the hospital. And Tuscaloosa.

Billy leaned forward and supported himself on the backrests of the two front seats. He leaned closer to you, and smiled. It was just the two of you now. You and Billy, all alone in the world.
