The Straight And Narrow Road

Prior to the trip, Nebraska frightened us most.
The road looked so straight on the map, like a rigid line held fast by fate and concrete. We’d heard stories of the empty fields and empty skies in every direction. The kind of tedium that could endanger your soul. I should have suggested that we reconsider and chose another route, but I didn’t want Jesse to know how scared I really was.
I wish we had never gone to that fortune teller. She had probably been a fraud, but the thought of being bored to death has haunted me ever since.
