THE ROAD TO NOWHERE
Megan Kowalski pulled over next to an overlook as she struggled to
breathe. She tried desperately to remember her exercises; the basics of
deep calming breaths that she had taught her students for years. More than
anything, Megan wanted to keep it together for the sake of Sophia, who was
sitting anxiously in the passenger seat.
As she watched the setting sun turn the slopes of Mt. Hood a beautiful
golden pink, Megan tried to think of some sort of plan. Today should have
been easy. It was the Friday before Thanksgiving, which meant a short
week and small class sizes ahead of her. But Sophia had forgotten her roller
skates that morning, so Megan decided to run home during her planning
period. And that was when her life came crashing down.
Brad’s truck is here. He didn’t say anything about leaving work early
today. I remember he said that his battery was acting up. Maybe the truck
didn’t start today and he got a ride with someone.
Megan didn’t call out when she entered their home. Sophia’s room was
on the ground floor and she picked up the roller skates when she heard a
thump from upstairs. Megan tentatively ascended the staircase, wishing that
she had a baseball bat or some other weapon.
Maybe Brad stained his clothes at lunch and came home to change.
That’s probably it.
Wait… Was that a moan?
Megan crept forward toward the open bedroom door. She heard
moaning ahead, from two different voices. Looking through the door, she
saw Brad’s naked back between a pair of outstretched legs. Sophia’s roller
skates fell from Megan’s nerveless hands, and the crash as they hit the floor
alerted Brad and his paramour to Megan’s presence. Megan remembered
how Brad and the woman desperately tried to cover themselves with both
sheets and lies.
This wasn’t the first time he had cheated on her, but it sure as hell
would be the last. She could forgive Brad’s indiscretions once, but not
again. Megan told him that she was leaving him and that she was taking
Sophia with her. Brad begged her to stay as she haphazardly threw clothing
into bags for herself and Sophia. He promised that this particular mistake
would never be repeated, trying to plead and bargain his way out of his
mistakes.
“That’s what you promised the last time,” she had told him.
“I’m sorry, it really won’t happen again, I swear,” Brad insisted.
For Megan, it was too late, and Brad’s promises were as worthless as his
marriage vows. So there she was, parked on the side of a state highway with
her eight-year-old daughter, headed vaguely toward Portland with no idea
what to do next.
