Emily's Story
I walked out of my house mentally thinking, phone, wallet, keys. I always remind myself those three things every time I leave. I once locked myself out of the house, so I always make sure to remember everything. I was just going to work. It was a calm, quiet morning. It was just a normal Monday morning. The interstate was completely empty. There was a car or two, but other than that it was open. The sun was beginning to rise up over the mountains. The blend of orange, pink, and white on the horizon was mesmerizing. I remember saying to myself this is going to be a beautiful day. I had no reason not to think that.
