The Day things changed for the worst
THE MORNING EVERYTHING CHANGED
CHAPTER ONE
Nine Minutes Too Late
The morning started like any other terrible morning , I’d recently lost my job Money was tight, stress was high, and the last thing I needed was another problem Unfortunately, problems don’t exactly wait for an invitation.
I was supposed to pick up my fiancée from work I overslept When I finally opened my eyes and looked at the clock, I nearly fell out the couch, “SON OF A BITCH!”
I jumped up, threw on some clothes, grabbed my keys, and ran outside
My old 87 Dodge was sitting in the driveway Long bed, Old paint, A few scars An engine that rattled like a coffee can full of bolts.
She wasn’t much to look at But she was dependable I climbed inside, turned the key, and listened to the engine cough before finally roaring to life.
“Come on, old girl. We ain’t got time for this.” I backed out of the driveway and headed toward town The interstate was packed.
The back roads weren’t much better. Every traffic light seemed to turn red just to personally piss me off. Eventually, I found another route A narrow stretch of pavement winding through the Kentucky countryside. I figured it would save time. I had no idea it would change my life.
