10 miles from home

by zackripley

When she goes out, it's like it's her last night alive. When he goes out, he clears his mind by taking a midnight drive through the countryside. After a long night alone in an empty bar, she decided to take a chance and get in her car. He went out too but didn't make it very far. Only 10 miles. 10 miles from home, 2 lives were lost. 10 miles from home, she didn't think about the cost. 10 miles from home, 2 families will never be the same. 10 miles from home stands a memorial with a picture and their names

Notes

The name comes from a statistic that nearly 70 percent of car accidents happen within 10 miles from their home. Please be safe
