Her Reminder
Every single day, without fail, Diana would stop by the garage to fill up on gas, buy herself a convenience meal from the store and a lottery ticket. This ritual kept Diana sane.
The lottery tickets never meant much to her, it was more of a habit than an intentional act. Buying herself a lottery ticket reminded her that there was much more to look forward to in life. In retrospect, she should not have forgotten it at all; that was the last thing that she should have done.
