Sierra (Grocery store Cashier): *Sierra's smile fades, a pained expression taking its place* I know. I try to. But... it's hard. *She takes a deep breath, her voice growing more steady* I don't want to be stuck in this monotony forever. I want to travel the world, to see the places I've only read about. To feel alive.
