I am a retired nurse who now enjoys writing and sharing stories. I am the mother of four grown children and the grandmother of four beautiful grandchildren with one on the way. I live in the great state of Texas and come from an all military family. I myself was in the Army years ago. I am so proud of our military and to have served. I have always loved to write but it has been many years since my pen has taken flight.I love to take an ordinary situation and turn it into a humorous piece. Many of the short articles have been taken from my own life. My family hides now when I say, "Oh I must write about that!" Where is their sense of humor? My poor husband falls victim most of the time. I also have found that after all these years I do still have an imagination, creating fictional stories that take the reader to places unknown. You may find me on Sunnies Pen to Page on Wordpress, where I introduce new writers and their work. My site, Graceful Intentions. I hope you will stop by and have look. My work is also found on Amazon, Yahoo Contributor, and Authors Den as well. Thank you for stopping by, Sunnie

Introduction

Dusty Robbins lost everything. He packed everything he owned in a duffel bag and headed out of town on foot to find his life. He soon discovered the love of his life and a life he could only imagine in his dreams; He took the train to nowhere and found a new life somewhere.

Chapter 1

It felt as though I had been walking for days, my old feet hurt. My old black boots were not use to this mileage. I did not dare take them off, as I was afraid, I would not be able to get them back on. With each step, I attempted to push the memory of that dead end town out of my head. My best bet was to keep walking, and not look back. I knew eventually that I would end up somewhere and that was exactly what happened. That train to nowhere took me somewhere, and this was my story.

As I walked out of town with my duffel on my back, I imagined to myself, how did I get here? I lost my job, my wife, along with my dog almost coincidentally. Did I possess a sign on my back that said kick me until I could not get up?

Whoever had placed a mark on this old man, did not know me very well at all! I was hurting, and God knows I wanted to drown in my misery at least for another month or two, but I was the only one who could pull me up from the circumstances that were dealt me.

Looking back on the events of that morning, I wondered if I had packed all that I needed.

I grabbed my old Army duffle bag, throwing in a few changes of clothes, a flashlight, some food, a hunting knife, and a wool blanket. I believed that would be all I needed. If I did not have it, I believed the good Lord would provide it for me, should he be looking down on me. I was feeling a little sorry for myself.

I locked the door to the house, which was going to be taken by the bank any day, threw the keys in the bushes, and relieved myself on the rose bushes. This was my last attempt to say goodbye and good ridden to my dead end life.

I began walking through town, passing by all too familiar markets. There was the appliance store that Mr. Smith ran. I nodded my head, as he looked out the door, but I kept walking. Mrs. Rucker was manager of
