Leaving isn't always an easy thing to do.
To choose whether to stay or to leave is a difficult decision.
Consider all the factors:
Where do you go?
How do you start your new life?
... How do you leave your family behind?
But I simply had to leave.
I couldn't risk hurting anyone.
This town isn't safe for anyone, for me.
I watched the horrid memories drift behind me as my cab reached the Ravenswood's leaving sign.
It was the hardest decision I've ever encountered, but it had to be done.
I payed the fee and thanked the cab driver.
Before I stepped past the boundary of our town, I stood in the middle of the road, staring at the Ravenswood sign.
That last thing I saw before I left. The sign.
It showed our population and town's symbol, a raven grasping a rose with it's talons.
September 7, 2005 was the day I left.
