the seaside rest
as reply to Over
The Seaside Rest was the last real motel on that coastline. Every other had become a resort in the past two decades. The Seaside was the only place you wouldn't get gouged. Family owned and operated. And they accepted cash.

to come to a boil when the message came in. Dave called out to his wife. "Coffee will be ready soon. Can you listen for it?"
"You're leaving?"
"Yep. Looks like they did their job after all."

the best thing
as reply to Everyone was Awake
When Alan came to he looked over at Aaron. Looked tired. Finally.
"Morning, sunshine."
It was still dark. Techno was on. Alan was still tired as fuck. He was so sleepy so he passed out. But his body didn't feel rested. The chair in the car was okay for a quick nap....

They somehow ended up leaving theΒ
McDonalds
at the same time. They hadn't said much to each other. Only the comments about that particular McDonalds being oddly good compared to the rest. So it wasn't like they were having a conversation as they left. They walked in silence. Threw away...

Senior year was a blur. Looking back at least. In the moment she felt like so many things were happening. Time felt incredibly long. Practices. Parties. Sleepovers. Exams. Games. Dances. Looking back as an adult all of those things kind of blurred into a simple image. the same vibration.

When she was 17 only one of them had a car at any given time. At the end of junior year it was Ashley. But she got in a wreck in the summer. Then they were car-less until Imogen got her's right before the school.

She found it strange. To want to
