A Trip Back to the Pilot and Alternate Ending

"Diane, 11:30 a.m., February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks."        I've been wondering if something old can become new again. With the past firmly in the rearview - does it even matter to glance over my shoulder? The answer seems to be no - always move forward, don't look back, don't cling to nostalgia, as it really means nothing. Time is elusive, fleeting, and perhaps a trap that weights a person down.

It eluded her around the mountain's twists and turns on her way up to an ideal vantage point. Her glare was so fixed it was impossible to keep her eyes from watering, but she refused to blink. It was ironic to her that despite all the sadness she'd felt in her life, she had no desire to cry in what she knew would be her final moments. In fact, it made her laugh. Pinky laughed as tears...
