Moving On-Entry for Week #14 Fox Tale

Moving on

Nobody loves you.Ellie wished her mind would just shut up! She had to send her boss the socio-economic report, pick up the twins from school, get her mom’s medication, calculate her taxes and oh yeah go on a date.There were so many people who relied on her. Her life had become an infinite loop of responsibility, pain and emptiness.She closed her eyes and her thoughts strayed to Nirvana. It was a magical place she dreamed about. A river that cleansed your soul, wiped away the remnants of life's trials and set you free.Ever flowing, it helped you break the loop and move on. Whenever she thought of ending it all, she went to Nirvana. After her divorce, she had been imagining that place. It became more lucid when her mother got diagnosed with Alzheimer's and then when the twins asked uncomfortable questions about their Dad. The endless slew of frustrating dates, made it her escape.She got up and walked with a purpose as if she knew where she was going. Drove to the outskirts of the town till nightfall. She had found her stopping place. It beckoned her with with a starlit chandelier, a gentle nudging wind. She dove into the river and closed her eyes. Floating and forgetting.The water caressed and comforted her. She felt loved.
