Drabble 3: Anywhere But Here
This place was a cage. The walls were closing in around me and with each passing day I felt my life and my future slipping away.
I needed to get out, to get away from this house filled with maids and antique furniture that belonged in the dark ages. I was sick and tired of having other people do everything for me. I was capable, damn it.
I could do this on my own, despite what Richard and Emily thought. I needed to take matters into my own hands, to do things my way.
Before I could reconsider, I started shoving things in bags. I packed the things that meant something to me and left the rest. I gathered my daughter into my arms and fled, determined to raise her without any help. I didn't know where we would go, but wherever it was, it would be better than here.
