My Story

Kim woke up in a new city,on a different street,and what seemed to be a dangerous neighborhood.  She couldn't remember how she had gotten to this strange place.  All kim could recall was getting hit on the head and then everything went black.  She knew that she had to move fast because whatever had shot holes in the windows of the houses, she didnt want putting holes in her too.  Kim started walking down the street then burst into a run as her fear rose.  After a few minutes she found herself at a crossroads and wasn't sure where to turn.  When she was about to just wing it and go right, a jeep rode up and stopped beside her.  "Do you need a ride missy?"said the man in the car.  Kim gazed through the window and saw that the man was old and appeared to be a mechanic from the oil stains that where on his clothes and in his hair.  She was so lost,tired, and scared that she said yes to the ride throwing caution to the wind.  They said nothing as the minutes drew by and fine houses started to appear.  "Where you from?"he asked,"You dont seem like you from that place back there."  The old man pointed backwards at the image of the buildings now shrinking into the distance.  Kim hesitated for a moment and then decided it wouldn't hurt to answer the mans question.  "I'm from beverly hills,"she answered.  "No wonder your dressed so fancy," the man said and smiled.  She didn't know what the man considered fancy.  For all she wore was a now crumpled denim skirt,an old leather jacket, salmon pink top, and black flip flops.  They stopped infront of a hotel and the man turned to her.  "I have to let you off here,"he said," I have to get back to my shop and I heard they have nice rooms here so I thinks its a good place for you to stay so you can get some rest, you look tired."  Kim stepped out of the car slowly,closed the door behind her,  and was beginning to walk up the steps to the hotel when she heard a voice.  "In case you ever need help or another ride give me a call."  Kim turned around realizing it was the old man.  She walked back and grabbed the card the man held out the window.  "Bye now,"he said and drove off.
