Freedom

Chapter 1

I just can't stay here, I am not safe and they will kill me. I must go while I can.
                          *hours pass
            It is brisk outside and the cold air hits my face. The leaves crack under my feet. It is mid afternoon in November. I walk into the nearest shop and am given weird stares from the people around me. I look in the nearest mirror. It is winter and I am just in a purple dress. It is my favorite dress. I didn't change when I left, I didn't pack...I just ran as fast as I could and as quiet as I could. I continue to walk further into the shop, grabbing a pair of pants and a sweatshirt, as well as some socks and a pair of boots. My flats just aren't cutting it. I walk over to the next section of the shop and take a black backpack off of the rack. After this I walk into the nearest dressing room and put the clothes into it. I don't have any money and I need to change my appearance. I walk over to the bathroom where there is a window, I have walked past this shop every day and remembered the window. This is why I came here. I drop the backpack out the window, I could fit out too but if I don't exit through the regular door as if I hadn't decided to buy anything the lady at the register would take notice and id have yet another person coming after me.
           I proceed to walk out of the bathroom, smiling at the lady and grabbing a candy bar as I walk out the door. I round the corner into the ally where I dropped the bag with the clothes in it. I swing it around my shoulder, biting into the candy bar I grabbed on the way out. I continue walking until I reach a gas station where I change into the clothes, putting my dress and flats into the bag. I walk out into the parking lot. I have been thinking about running for so long and yet I never made a plan. Whatever I do, I can't stop walking. I don't know where I am going yet but as long as I'm moving it means I'm headed somewhere.

       Hey. I know it's been a while. I've always loved writing but I was suffering from severe writers block for a while. Now I am entering 2019 with a new storyline. There is a lot that will be uncovered in this story and I have a lot of ideas to do with this story and where it can go. Anyway, I know this chapter was short but the first chapter is always short because I don't know how much I want to lead into. I hope you enjoy this and I promise I haven't lost touch on my other stories, I just felt like I needed something new to write.
                                              Thank you

Ps. I'm pondering the idea of making her a bit insane and giving her a sort of twisted background with an insane asylum and such. Lmk in the comments if you think that's a good idea.
