Was it possible? Was she really out of debt? Out of debt! If she’d known that declaring personal bankruptcy would be this easy, she’d have done it years ago. After the debacle in the bridal salon, she’d spent all week downloading forms and gathering her financial records. She made an appointment at an out-of-the-way law office and had just dropped off the paperwork with a check for three hundred dollars. It took all of ten minutes. The only thing left to do was attend a hearing — which, she’d been assured, was a mere formality — and the whole nightmare would be in the past. She could now indulge herself in her delicious future. “Woo!” Sally screamed as she reached Santa Monica Boulevard. “Woo-hoo!” But she was too happy to go home. She wanted to keep going. At the top of La Cienega, she got in the left lane and headed west down the curvy part of the Strip. Mulholland, PCH, Sunset: driving these streets made Sally feel as if she was Los Angeles. Like in that movie Fantastic Voyage — where shrunken scientists were injected into a dying man’s bloodstream — Sally zoomed along Sunset with the flow of traffic.
