“What the fuck am I doing?" Lila put her head into her hand as she debated her most recent life choices.

Tyell answered the question she didn’t want to be answered. “Cause you agreed to my plan.”

“Oh yeah, your stupid plan.”

“Does that make you an idiot for joining it?”

Lila sighed, “Honestly, maybe.”

“I would prefer it if you said no.”

Tyell and Lila were out on a ‘road trip’ that had landed them in the small city of Merpole.

It was a few hours out from the city where the Stella family lived.

Once upon a time, it was a good place, but over the last forty years, it had gradually begun falling apart.

Lila replied back, “It better be, it's hardcore after all.”
