New Beginnings by A.Myers85 True Story Flash contest entry |
“Quick question: how do you know when it’s time to leave?” My older brother stills and gapes at me. “That’s not a quick question.” Pausing his video game, we relocate to the living room. Unbidden, my feelings spill out: dissatisfaction with my school; my best friend living 2,000 miles away; feeling stuck—unable to move forward in my life; lost, alone; a buoy ripped from its anchor, adrift at sea. “Maybe… it’s time for you to leave California,” he says gently. His words reminded me of past conversations when I refused to listen. He’s right; it’s time. Goodbye, California. Hello, Arkansas.
