Crossing America

"Almost Gone" (aka, "Almost Home 2") is shaping up nicely for me. I present a quick note-taking session below:

- After the introduction (the first third of the story), we see Benjy drive as far west as rural Indiana and sets up a hotel room at a Super 8 just after sunset, especially given that the day's events.

- Ashley accepts all of Benjy's lies about the situation he and Ashley are in. Benjy heads to bed realizing that he was now a criminal. Pops the plates off an Indiana car late at night. Has a revelation about Ashley in the morning. Big breakthrough.

- The two continue driving through towards Kansas, making a stop at a McDonalds for breakfast (flashback scene), and making a late-afternoon stop at a mall. Benjy begins his sexual urges this day. There will be a few humorous scenes that take place within the mall.

- The next hotel, a remote location, is the first place that Ashley begins to remember.

- Day 3: Benjy and Ashley make it to New Mexico. This is where the final third of the story will take place and the conclusion will wrap up as Ashley recovers her full memory and Benjy's lies catch up to him.

I can't wait to finish this story...
