Alone No More

By Sheri Velarde

"I swear this is the last time I say yes to working a double shift on a weeknight. Not only did I make lousy tips, now I have to walk home in this creepy fog late at night. Fog in the middle of New Mexico! It's not natural!" Ella stopped and laughed for a second. "And working too many hours clearly drives me to talk to myself and answer. A sure sign of insanity if I ever heard of one. I agree."

Shaking her head at her own silliness, Ella quickened her pace, ready to take a nice, long, hot shower, and crawl into bed. Then, rest her aching body, try to forget her crappy day, and get some much needed sleep. Though she only worked a few blocks from her apartment, she really wished she had driven today. However, having thought that she would be getting off at six o'clock, not staying until after two in the morning she had opted to walk.

The streets were nearly deserted as it was close to three on a Tuesday morning, but Ella had an uneasy feeling as she hurried along. She felt as if someone watched her every move and that the unexpected fog had a more sinister meaning to it.

"Fog happens!" she snapped, chastising herself for feeding jumpy fears, but quickened her already fast pace.

She kept scanning the streets and listening for someone who might be following, pepper spray in hand and at the ready just in case, and glad that she knew how to defend herself if forced to. Having been on her own since she was fifteen, Ella was confident she could take care of herself if something should happen. Still, since she wore her bartending clothes, tight jeans and a sexy top, all showing curves to their fullest, she worried. Therefore making her even more nervous about being alone this late at night on a deserted street. At times like this it was not good for an attractive, short, curvy brunette to be wandering alone.

This was definitely one of those nights when Ella wished someone waited at home for her. Someone who would notice if she never made it, someone to miss her and come searching to make sure she was okay. But she probably wouldn't be out here by herself in the first place, if she had someone like that. There would be someone next to her walking her home or would have picked her up. But there had never been anyone waiting at home for her, not even when she was a kid. So why should her adult life be any different?

As she thought all this to herself, the loneliness of her situation sank her mood a little lower. You would think that she would be used to being alone. She had been on her own since she took off from foster care as a teenager but it never seemed to get any easier. The loneliness in her soul never seemed to lessen. The pain of never knowing love only deepened with each passing year.
