Week 9 - Vis Major

Memories of Athena and her mother running by the water in the wet summer lawn when Athena was only a child was going through her head. She was now at a train station on the outskirts of some dead end town. Ended up staying the night there because by the time she got there, the last train had already left. It's now around 10:30am, and Athena was patiently waiting for the first train to arrive. The strange thing about this particular train station was that the first train of the day didn't arrive until 1:00pm. The last train left the station at 9:00pm. Athena was now staring to shake due to nervousness because she was reading a chart on the wall that had all the possible places that the train traveled to. To her surprise, a train actually would leave Arizona en route to Miami, Florida. Only one train at 8:30pm, it was one of the last trains to leave the station each day. It was almost 11:00am now; she wasn't really planning on sitting around all day to wait for that one train to leave at 8:30 that night. She walked outside to see what was around, only the road which she walked on for a couple of miles, and the bright desert sun overhead. It was like an old cowboy movie, but without the stringy bails of straw rolling past on the ground. She looks across the horizon with a puzzled expression on her face of not knowing where to go. Deep down inside, she really wanted to be in Miami right now to reconcile with her father. This stage in the game, trying to reconcile with a killer would be a far cry from anything productive. For Athena, it was worth a shot. By 8:25pm that night, Athena was pacing around the station waiting for the train that would take her to Miami. Along with herself, there were about twenty-five other people also waiting for either the same train or the very last train that would go to Austin, Texas. Before she knew it, the train to Miami had arrived and Athena got on and so did about ten other people. The train left the station and Athena was about to arrive at her father's feet and reconcile.
