A Road To Travel, Key West Bound — William Williamson

A visit to Key West means many different things to different people. A vacation in a tropical setting. A romantic getaway for couples. A place to shed your inhibitions and party into the morning hours. Out on the water fishing, snorkeling or diving. Discovering exotic trees and the erotic nightlife that comes alive after the sun goes down. For Corky Roberts, he's hoping Key West will shed answers to some questions that have bothered him all through his adolescence.

Corky's mother had lived in the Keys all her life until it no longer felt like paradise to her. She moved away eighteen years ago vowing she would never return to the islands. But after Corky graduated from high school, she made a spur of the moment decision to drive down to Key West so he could see a slice of life he had never known. They were there less than a day. Two weeks later, Corky levels his thumb in the air to hitchhike back to Key West. He is determined all the answers are down there.
