Life is too short to be a lie.

Another day with the usual insult pushed through the letter box. The pattern rarely varies, the insults are always of the same vein, always from the same people.
The police will do nothing since there is nothing they can do, they have already done what they can against those who keep sending her the insults.
The insults, however, were a minor thing compared to the threat of bodily harm. And it was only a matter of time before that became an unwanted reality.
There was only one option left, and thankfully she was ready to implement it after months of work and planning.
With any luck it would be the end of the insults and a new life far away from those who are a threat to her.
Looking around the barren living room, her few possessions already packed and ready to go, she takes her mobile phone from a pocket, flips it open and taps in the intended number.
"Hello? Aye, it's Miss Jenes, Sarah Jenes. We spoke a few days ago about the moving costs and that I would be requiring the help of your company in order to move. That time will be perfect, thank you. I'll be here. Aye, I'll need help getting things into the new house. The price isn't a problem, are you okay with my paying half now and the last half once the moving is complete? Excellent. I'll be here waiting then, thank you"

A new start:
A touch to the left,hmm, doesn't look right there. Okay then, a touch to the right, just a slight touch. Much better.
Nodding with satisfaction, Sarah steps back and looks around her new living room. Since she didn't have much in the way of furnishings, nor of decent furniture for the time being other than a bed – which had been placed into the bedroom upstairs - a wardrobe, also upstairs, two dresser drawers – also upstairs and a couple of tables – one in the kitchen and one here in the living room - as well as a basic, and fairly worn, recliner, then getting things into place had been easy enough.
Any other possessions like her few remaining books, the few that hadn't been destroyed by those who had broke into her old home and tried to set it alight and failing when Sarah had managed to put out the blaze before it had gotten worse, although not before the attempted murderers had destroyed the majority of what she had owned, were all sorted out.
Thanking the men from the moving company who had helped her to move here and saying goodbye when they left, Sarah Jenes, 32 years old, makes a mental note to begin a long session of furniture shopping, clothes shopping andother items tomorrow while also paying the other half of the moving costs.
All the paperwork was already done and the only person from her old place who knew she had moved was her mum, who had promised to tell no one else for the sake of her daughter's safety.
"So much to be done. But first I should clear my head, a nice walk and getting my bearings in my new home should be just what I need" That thought set and accepted, Sarah slips her coat on and heads out, locking the front door after her.
A new start, hopefully, in a new home.
