Great story! I have so many questions… What is she running from? How did she prepare? What hard lessons did she lear in her first year? What’s her long term plans? So many directions to continue the story!

Thank you so much for commenting! These questions all came up while I was writing and everytime I thought of elaborating, something deep pulled me back. The mystery of it all just grabbed me and wouldnt let go. I wanted to focus in on the gut-instinct many of us feel to find something simpler. I think this story would be a cool candidate for a deeper storyline to emerge, but I'd want to do so carefully and try to preserve so much of its 'character' and anonymity.

Thank you so much for commenting! This also warms my heart considering this was inspired directly by my daydreaming and was hoping to tap into that for others. Thats why I didn't name the main character, too. Thank you for making my day.
