Unfinished Short Story 3

The Surprise Ending

It had been 43 days and countless miles. Amy left Boston in what seemed ages ago. And now, after confronting Bobby and his new girlfriend Jenna she has muddled it all up. Secretly though, the sound of Jenna’s hand as it laid into the cheek of Bobby, a sharp bit of thunder from out the Savannah Desert, rang angelic in her ear. The sight was even more inspiring.

“What the hell are you doing here?” screamed Bobby. It was as though the blood from a thousand angered disciples crying mutiny to Moses ran to his face. He was a candy apple red that Ana never witnessed before.

She was immediately disgusted by this outrage in Bobby. She saw her father, her uncle, and every man who had wronged her in life. She realized Bobby was no different than they were. In her disgust she stormed out of the room.

Outside, Jenna was hunched over sitting along the hallway wall. She was crying, deep tears of true affection. Amy approached her and pleaded that she was sorry for all the trouble she caused. Jenna ceased her tears and with here wide blue eyes stared into the very soul of Amy. In their gaze, Amy saw what it was she was missing. Her mother was the only loving figure in her life and in a strange apparition Jenna had taken her mother’s form. It hit Amy like an 18 wheeler truck barreling out of hell. The two embraced, pulled away, and kissed. This was Amy’s America, this was her true journey.
