Attempting New Writing

Doing a short little story

She would find herself drawn to an escape plan sometimes, she would say, “You know? Sometimes in life, you just need a little break.”

That cold afternoon was one of those precious times of hers when she would slip out of the house and walk her way to a spot no one knew existed, not that she was aware of anyway. A little beach hideaway, with a dock that stretched far out and over the surface of the water. This was her escape from the world and the closest form of solitude she could find.

It was chilly out so she grabbed her knitted sweater hanging by the door, turned to her noisy family, and said “Well, I'm headed out.” Getting no response back was normal for this family, she then gave a turn to the doorknob, turned one more time to check for a response from her parents, and off she went.

This might be fun! I do so much poetry but lately have been fascinated with the books I have been engulfing myself in for the last couple of months. So, I am going to go all in and start taking a crack at fiction short form. Thank you all for reading a sample to a new start of mine!
