Chapter 1
" Mom! I promise I will call you when we get there." I sighed as Mom's words continued rambling on about the move I was making. She wasn't happy about me and my son moving nearly two hours away. Although this was a much needed change of pace, no one in the equation was overly excited.
" Mom I love you but please can I call you when we arrive? These roads are getting more curvey and harder to navigate while on the phone." I huffed sounding a little more frustrated than before.
" Oh okay Sugar. Please be careful and do call us as soon as possible."
She sounded a little defeated as we said our goodbyes. I pressed the end call button as we were about to crest the top of the mountain. I looked up in the rear view mirror and smiled to myself as my son was asleep peacefully.
Ryan James has been my light at the end of the dark tunnel. His father left us when he was just a little over a year old. Luckily he didn't remember that. He was always so happy and smiling no matter what life threw at us. He's smart for a 7 year old. He could tell when I was having a hard time and would start telling me silly jokes. Our favorite one " what do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef!" But things started taking a toll on him when he came home from school and heard me and his step-father, Jon, arguing. He'd ask if Jon was going to leave like his father did. I did my best to make things work with his step dad but ended up having enough. One day while Jon was at work I packed our things and heading to my mom's. Jon never tried to contact us after. It was for the best. We're on to bigger and better things.
Nearly to the new town we'd call home I spotted a blue sign with writing on it. The closer we got I could make out some of the details on the old wood sign. I turned slightly in my seat to Ryan so I can gently shake his leg. His pale green eyes flutterrd open to see why I was waking him. He turned his head to see the small town with the old wooden sign the reads
"Welcome to Owltown Georgia!"
We've made it.
