Alixa takes off her apron starting to pick up her things to start heading back home from work. She looks at the clock and sighs to herself, "9:37 pm. Ugh, it's going to be a long walk to the bus stop." Alixa waves goodbye to her boss leaving the little bistro and starting her thirty-five minute walk to the bus. Alixa fills with dread thinking about how late she will get home since she needs to catch a fifteen minute bus ride after walking to the stop. She starts making her way down to the stop, not liking the fact that it was dark outside. She would've taken her car, but it broke down just last week and the mechanic told her that her car was dead for good. It will be a while before she could get a new car with all the new bills coming up and her having to work two jobs just to pay them.
