At a supermarket at night & outskirt of town

For a second, she thought of her younger sister Becky, who had started out so promisingly. A pretty girl, smart, with good grades. After getting involved with the wrong person, she now lived in a trailer park. 'Maybe I should reach out to her again and congratulate her on the birth of her son. Four babies in three years. Unbelievable...' the thought crossed her mind often.

Then, just as she thought she would continue her streak of good fortune, that fateful night changed Sarah forever. On a Monday evening, her husband was on a business trip for a week, and her daughter was staying with friends for two nights, so she picked up some groceries on the outskirts of town. It was a large supermarket in a slightly more expensive retirement neighborhood, where she felt most comfortable shopping.
