I travelled down what I thought was an empty road. The horizon seemed to stretch for hundreds of miles ahead of me. The yellow lines on the road dotted in some places for people who didn't exist to pass. As I hummed to the song playing from my phone, I suddenly saw a pair of hitchhikers whose thumbs pointed to the sky. After a few seconds of debating myself, I pulled over to see if they were headed in any direction that I was. But no matter what they said, I knew I was likely to take them due to myself not having any clue to where I was headed. My car pulled over to the side of the road, getting as close to them as I could.

"Where are you guys headed?" I asked them softly trying to keep my voice light and gentle so I didn't sound weird or creepy. I took a moment to observe the two men, one tall and lanky while the other was short and stout.it was typical pair of men. They seemed comfortable with one another, like they had known each other a long time. The tall one finally looked up at me from his dirty shoes.

"We were hoping to get a ride to the unknown," the man murmured softly. His voice was deep. I smiled at the answers nodding.

"Come on in," I replied, opening the passenger door. The tall one hopped into the passenger side while the short one took the back. As soon as I began driving, the pair of men burst into laughter. My brows furrowed at the sudden sound. The tall one turned to me, seeing my obvious confusion.

"it's joyous laughter. Thank you for picking us up," he explained vaguely. I simply left it at that.

The spell broke, and just like that, she could see everything with fresh eyes. She could see all the damage she'd done.tears flowed down her cheeks, staining her fair skin a deep crimson color. She knew she couldn't reverse it all easily.it would take time. She wishes she could go back and erase it all, but it wasn't possible. There fingers reached for the sun as if it would have all the answers that she didn't know.
