Random Story 1

The following is a random tidbit that I thought of, and haven't expanded on. Feel free to let me know what you think. :) 

“I can’t stay here anymore” she mumbles between hyperventilating breaths. She pauses for a moment trying to get her breathing under control so her chest would stop hurting. She was, also, trying to stop the stream of tears running down her face at the same time. She takes a few long deep breaths before hurriedly packing what little meaningful possessions she has into a sack. She pauses a moment when she reaches the window. She looks at the place that has been her refuge for her entire childhood, and as she pushes down more tears, silently says goodbye as she opens her bedroom window. She makes her way across the roof to the tree that is positioned just right.   

When she makes it to the bottom she quickly takes the familiar path through the backyard and into the woods; following it until she reaches a cave. There she stops and picks up a tattered backpack. Her gaze lands on the chalk drawings that litter the cave walls and on her way out her hand brushes across the carving at the entrance. She trudges through the many trees before finding the path she needs.   

She breathes a sigh of relief as she finally sees the bus station up ahead. Quickly looking around she makes her way up to the ticket counter. There she pays for the first available ticket out of there with cash. She swiftly takes her seat, and wonders to herself how long it will take before they know she is gone. She puts in her headphones as the bus pulls away silently saying goodbye one last time.  

Again feel free to comment and let me know what you think. I would be happy to respond to all of you.

Blessed Be,
