Emily 100WC Week 19

Finally, the night of my escape. As I dragged my heavy suitcase out the front door, I felt a sudden shower of terror creep up inside me. I tried my hardest not to break the silence but however hard I tried, there were always a few bangs that I just couldn’t help. Luckily though, there was not a sound from my parents’ room. Hardly daring to think about what I was doing, I crept outside, quietly closing the door behind me. All was silent. Almost too silent. I knew it was the same street where I played every day but in the dark it was scary. The wind was howling and the towering houses were watching my every move. Fear coiled in my stomach like a serpent. I’d give anything for day, anything.
