Trina walked everywhere. It was the first rule she lived by. Trina had already walked over 3,000 miles over the last year and a half and turned down at least a hundred rides. That was rule number three: accept no rides from anyone, for she wasn’t a hitchhiker.
Trina avoided small towns and only went into big cities. That was rule number seven on her list of rules. Never go into a town where people were more likely to remember her face. Just in case someone came asking questions. Also, because there were no 24-hour stores.
This brings us to Trina’s most important rule: Don’t go anywhere during the day, walk at night—rule number ten. This was so she wouldn’t burn up in the sun, as she followed rule number two: only eat derelicts.

I met Her 4 Coffee
Nice, breakfast is served! This rain refuses to throw in the white towel and not let the sun have her day! The slanted pattern of the rain is kind of sexy beating on the window! Pancakes are hot, the juice smells fresh and the woman of my dreams smiling at me! Everything going my way, why not try my luck at the lottery!

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?

So engaging until the final line, at which I simply had to laugh--yes, ol!
Ooooooo!!! Well this is enticing!! It almost feels like an origin story but perhaps more developed!! I love the mystery and straight forwardness of this story!! Will there be a part 2??
