Down the Darkest Road
“She sat at the table in the great room, drinking and looking at her photograph of Leslie the night before she was taken.
She was a beautiful girl. Leah was pretty. Leslie was beautiful. There was such a fire in her, and it glowed out of her blue eyes and shone in her long dark hair. That spirit had been a force of energy everyone in the room would feel when she turned it on as part and parcel of a strong emotion.
Leslie would have done something extraordinary with her life.
Sometimes Lauren wis...hed she could feel that energy when she thought of her daughter or when she looked at her photograph. Sometimes she thought that would be a sign to her that Leslie was still alive somewhere. Sometimes she feared it would mean she was gone and her spirit was visiting in an attempt to offer her mother some kind of comfort. It was a torment either way.

And for the millionth time she thought Because there is no God to end it.
There had been a time when that thought would have left her feeling upset and adrift.MoreLess
