READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED! **** !!!! ********************************** Lux's P.O.V. ********************************** I've been looking for Mom for two years. At first, I tried all the normal spots we used to go to. The park, her job at the motel, her other job at the diner, the small convenience store we used to walk to. For weeks, I showed up at each place hoping she'd be there. She never was. It took me several months to figure out that Mom wasn't in any of our usual places. So, I started walking. Every single day. I walk and walk and walk. I ask strangers for food, or if they've seen my mommy. I stopped asking about my mom when someone called the cops
