Prologue

Memorial Day Weekend,

            The house had belonged to some Hollywood type from decades ago, and was abandoned for as long as many could remember. The disarray of the compound was obvious proof. Windows were broken, walls were decorated with graffiti and floors were torn. 

The house in recent years was used for underground parties.

I shouldn't be here She thought  Bad things happen at these parties.

it would have been a last hurray for her, being accepted to college and moving from the area soon.

A few people would walk by and ask her if the rumors were true. Janie Alexander was leaving the Dust bowl after all.

Friends would come up and offer their congratulations. People would ask to pose for pictures, others would try and give cups of alcohol mixed with god only knows.

She scanned the estate looking for one of the men in her life.  She caught a glimpse of the one she was trying to avoid.

As if saved by the bell, the lights and sirens of police cars coming up the streets, and the long driveway. The party was starting to disperse. Bottles and red cups were being dropped, people ran, and in the commotion, sparks ignited.

Looking out her rear view mirror, Janie saw the fire consume the estate.

That was the last time she was in her hometown.
