If she wasn’t scheduled to die in two weeks in an Amtrak derailment, Marissa might have lived her dream by becoming a death penalty attorney. She would have married Milton and moved to the Queen Anne section of Seattle, would have bought a collie and walked it twice a day, would have become an expert in DNA analysis, and would have freed several inmates on death row. But she asked Milton if they could take a short vacation. She needed to get away and clear her mind after years of studying. Milton suggested they go to San Francisco by train.

We all have crossroads in our lives. How often do we head off down the wrong path. Enjoyed your story, Jim. Comments are closed.
