Leo sighed as he stared out of his mom’s dusty SUV window. It was a rental, but it did happen to be at a great price because it was all jacked up. He was sitting in the passenger seat, listening to an old song from the’80s or whatever. As he absorbed in his surroundings, he noticed that the landscape was fading of buildings and suburbs. It was mostly hillside by now. Every once and a while you would see a house with a tractor in the driveway. The thing he saw the most of was cows. Tons and tons of cows lined the hillside like the grass they were eating. The roads were almost free of cars. Wherever they were, Leo didn’t like it. He missed the noises of the city. He missed having friends. He missed going to a public high school. Would his computer connect to wi-fi? Would their new place even have wi-fi? He overheard his mom on the phone talking about a farmhouse. All he hoped was that there was a barn that was not haunted. He laughed at the thought of that. “Hon, why don’t you get some sleep? We won’t be there for another forty-five minutes.” Leo tried to adjust his seat so he could lay down, but the seat wouldn’t go back because of the moving boxes all stacked up on the other seats. Instead, he took his phone (found conveniently in an abandoned coat) and played some music to his 15 dollar wired headphones. The quality the headphones had were not that good, but the songs that were already downloaded on the phone were decent.
