Battered and disgraced, she lay in a dark corner.
Her day’s wages, a hundred rupee note, securely hidden in her closed fist.
Noticing a flicker of light at the open, unmanned gate, “This is it!” she thought.
Her heart pounding, her eyes alert, she sprinted out noiselessly and never looked back.
Finally, she was free.

Thank Goodness for the flicker of hope and kudos to her for taking that shot at freedom.
Yes….grab the opportunity when you see it, right. 🙂
Thanks for the comment Sid 🙂
So glad she chose freedom and I loved the subtle hint of financial independence there.
Wonderfully written Varsha 🙂
Freedom and independance is everyone’s right and the ones who don’t get it have to fight for it. In any case, it is important for every individual. Isn’t it?
Thank you so much. I’m glad you caught the subtle hint. 🙂
