Freezing
The smart girl had done her research about Illinois before moving. She knew she wasn’t in a safe area but if she moved quickly, she could get home safely before anything happened.
She knew she should have waited for the next bus, but something told her to venture out and look for a taxi. The sooner she’d be out of this neighborhood, the better. She stood at the bus stop for ten minutes. All the time she looks scared around her. This was too much she thought, I can’t wait here another second. She started walking towards some lights in hope of finding a taxi.
