IF I NEVER SEE ANOTHER SUN

Trouble won’t find me
Sorrow won’t call
Sadness will turn away
Searching for a new soul

Hardship won’t come by
All pain will cease
Somebody will take my place
And suffer for me

If I never see another sun

~Tracy Chapman, lyrics taken from ‘Another Sun’

Blaine, KS (pop. 259) is an unincorporated township situated on a two lane-ribbon of blacktop that runs through the north central part of the state. Despite having a few residents, Blaine isn’t much of a place. There are no businesses, no restaurants, and no gas stations. The only thing that really exists in Blaine is an old cemetery. And for the town’s residents who’ve made a commitment to stay to the bitter end, I’m guessing it’s the only thing they can really bank on.
