The Coach House
“First Libertyville and now Atchison. Two opportune places to start over but too close for comfort. How far did she have to go to get completely away from him? She pictured herself hiding in some remote town in the hills of Nowheresville, living in a ramshackle of a house, going into town in some sort of hideous disguise only when she needed supplies, talking to no one. She laughed out loud at her own preposterous thoughts…hoping that’s all they were.
Atchison, Kansas. She took her newspaper to ...the bench in front of the local pharmacy and looked at the want ads. The initial $500 she had left was dwindling fast, and it didn’t help matters that she had given her potential Chicago landlord seventy dollars of it for the first month’s rent. Seventy dollars was a lot of money.
The want ads were a small section, and nothing stood out. Only the telephone operator position at the local phone company, Southwestern Bell, made sense. She pictured rows of operators sitting in one big room in the bowels of some old building, mere voices on the other end of a phone line, otherwise hidden from the rest of the world.MoreLess
