                       As they sped down the highway, the radio was tuned to the news. “In today’s headlines, a man in Beth, Iowa died in the house of local residents, the Peterson family. No cause of death has been affirmed but next to him was found a glass of liquid nitrate.” The radio was turned off and the car went silent. Alexis looked out the window blankly and said “Where are we gonna go? They know he died in our house!” Her mother replied coldly “Bolivia” Alexis screamed “WHAT! Are you kidding me? This is the 5^th time this has happened! Eventually, someone’s gonna know, someone’s gonna know that-” A cold, angry hand had smacked Alexis across the cheek and her father said “No one will know the secret and if someone does, I’ll blame you.” She sat still in the back seat, staring into space with her chewing gum in her right pocket. Anger flushed her like a title wave, “I don’t wanna move! I wanna stay in Iowa!” Suddenly, they hit a bump, then another, then another, then another till they couldn’t feel the ground. The whole Peterson family instantly knew what had just happened, they had drove off a canyon!
