She looked around at the empty apartment and sighed. She had packed the last of her things; the very few items she didn’t sell, and then closed the door behind her. The sound of the trains traveling down the train tracks behind the apartment building reminded her she was not where she wanted to be.
She wondered why it had taken her so long to come to this final decision. She guessed it was because she didn’t want to leave the city she had grown up, or the people she had known all her life. But those same people were strangers now, people whom she knew their name and little more than that. And the city had grown into a place she no longer recognized.
What would it matter if she turned and walked away? There was nobody outside her door this morning begging her not to go. The bills were more than she could afford, the apartment building was falling apart. She only saw angry and tired people; and those who couldn’t fight their long-held addictions.
She would go to a new city; one with nightlife and sunny beaches; a place where she would start anew; where no one knew her name. She would walk the beaches in the morning, do her work in the afternoon, and then have a drink at night.
She couldn’t wait until she reached Miami.
Ding!
