Flyaway

She didn’t know why she had come. The apartment was too big for her, too expensive. And she didn’t like the way the previous owners had left it. What had she been thinking?

When the phone call came, the bad news - the terrible news - seemed to her to be a judgement on her hubris. She should never have moved her sights from her own, small house. She should have stayed at home. With her children.

She flew away, home.
