 Chasing Tail Lights
Before he died, Christy's daddy used to say that when you feel lost, follow the tail lights of the truck in front of you, and they'll get you somewhere safe. Christy keeps chasing those tail lights, but somehow, she's always still lost in Flint, Michigan. Like lots of teens in Flint, she's dying to leave that dying city. She looks in all the wrong places for that beacon of light, never realizing that unless she finds it within herself, she'll only end up in one dead end after another.
 Cheated
