on the road to salin part 2

the next morning, Maria decided she'd better eat the other half of her granola bar before she hit the road. after shed finished she walked through the woods until she bumped into a highway, Maria decided to follow it  it looked.............. abandoned. Maria figured it couldn't hurt....  she started to walk

after three hours of endless walking, maria was hot and sweaty, she felt like she hadn't eaten in years, her stomach was making a noise that people could probably hear for miles around.

She spotted a convenience store and decided to take a rest, Maria bought a mini freeze pizza to have for lunch, she ducked between two buildings.
after eating Maria sat in the sun in one of the outdoor chairs, she emptied her bag and counted her belongings,

a small locket with a picture of her mother, and one of her father,
a pink eraser her smaller sister used to clutch tightly in her small sweaty hand,
a harmonica her older brother used to play every night,
three granola bars,
twenty two dollars, (left over from when she bought the mini pizza)
 a bag of  cranberry's,
and six plastic spoons.

Maria packed up the things. she started to walk over a field of dandelions, Maria watched the afternoon sun, she lay down in the grass and dozed off.
