Great story, and I think will resonate with a lot of people right now. It is well written, clear, and you make it easy for the reader to feel her feelings. One tiny thing - third line from the bottom - I think there should be a comma after Keys in hand. Just my picky little thing about punctuation. Wonderful story, and I would love to know where she ends up!

I enjoyed reading your flash fiction. I found it a bit confusing though. At first I thought she was in a cabin on a ship but then realised she wasn't. I wish you lots of luck in the competition. Best wishes. Jen.

There is a breaking point for all of us. Being closed in and isolated is hard for some people, especially extroverts. I'm also reminded by your story of the time when teenagers eventually feel the need to break away from their home environment and go out, in the words of fairytales, 'to seek their fortunes'.

Spring always makes me want to go outside. But really I am just enjoying my back yard now. Well I hope she gets her wish one day.
Good luck with the contest.

I love your last line it changes the perspective on the entire story - She didn't know what lay ahead but, whatever it was; it'd be DIFFERENT!
A new chance to live and let live. Thank you for sharing and good luck with the contest and stay safe my friend.

We all need someone to come and save us. Sometimes, (after reading your story) I guess we have to chance it on our own. Best wishes and have a wonderful day.

This is certainly a hard time to go out and find ourselves right now. Meeting new people is pretty much out of the question and it's just hard. Great job with this.

Very nice story. I do hope the young lady finds whatever it is she is looking for. Sometimes different is what we all could use a little more of. I loved it. Good luck in the contest!

This fiction has all the hallmarks of young people not concerned with consequences. She is supercharged with the need for adventure and freedom, never thinking that if she should return home, she may bring death to those she loves.

This is a very good story. Well done.
