It's that time again...another story, 100 words or less, based upon a single prompt. This week's prompt is in green.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sign caught her off guard: Exit 181, ½ mile ahead. She veers off and pulls into the Quick Stop, finding an inconspicuous parking spot near the back of the station. Panic begins to set in. What, in heaven’s name, is she doing here? Could she really go through with this? She thought of her family back home: the kids depending upon her, the husband supporting her. Deep down she knew what was right. With determination, a silent prayer, and a heavy sigh she pulls out, continuing her journey towards recovery, ever grateful for the intervention of the previous night.

Great use of the prompt but it leaves so many questions unanswered....will she go back...will she recover? Enjoyed this.
Very, very good. I wish more people would be open to intervention. thank you.
Well done! You left me with hope that she will continue on and get the help she needs.

What was she going to do at the station? Rob it? Steal something? What ever her intent, she got control of it.~Ames
This was a great post because you have got me thinking & asking so many questions! Brill!
She must have been very strong to resist temptation and continue on her journey.

If she ever goes again, she should remember how far she's come and how many people are praying and believing in her success.
Powerful use of the prompt Miss P.
I'm on your side, when times are tough, and friends just can't be found...like a bridge over troubled waters...I will lay me down.
