The Road Less Travelled
The two people left their house and began to make their way down the street. The weather was just as they expected it would be, and they were dressed appropriately. One of them a girl, was wearing heavy make-up and high heels. Suddenly the heavens opened up and the heavy downpour forced them to find shelter. The girl worried that her make-up would be washed out making her unrecognisable.
As they turned the corner, they came to a crossroad which made them pause to take a call on the road to take. The girl chose to move left while the other moved right. Both believed that they had found the right road and continued along it. The road meandered through the river, where pleasure boats and sail boats dotted the river. The barking of a dog forced the girl to stop and take a look. In the distance she could see a boat with a dog and a man with a hat. For a minute she wondered what it would be like to have a boat and sail in the wide expanse of the river, forgetting everything save the breeze and peace.
Life would be much easier if I had a boat or a car, thought the girl to herself as she hurried to find shelter from the rain. As she crossed the road, a huge truck came out of nowhere and slammed into her. Everything dissolved into blackness in a second!
