The wind had an eerie calm yet it was captivatingly
charming, as she left the dingy motel. She hated every waking minute of her
life doing the unworthy work but unfortunately having no other choice she
crumpled. The wind blew more sharply making her drape her flimsy shawl more tightly
to her chest as she trudged through the thin veil of night. There was nothing
in sight apart from the lone moon as her companion as she walked for miles.
Finally stopping at a bare fountain, she let out a frigid breath. She longed to
sit down and gather little strength but she couldn’t think of sparing any
minute. She had to reach the cottage near the outskirts of the town before
midnight. It was a night of great importance and she couldn’t afford to be late
today. After all it was his birthday, her son’s first birthday. Her only
savior, in this ruthless world.
