– Emergency Stop –
This is where it happens, the moment that changes my life. This is where I step out – my old world stops.
That’s what happens when you don’t pay attention. Life’s carefully crafted plan disappears in a squeal of brakes and rubber.
I’m lucky. The bus driver sees me at the last second.
I’m watching as my old life turns to dust in the distance. I open the window, shove my briefcase out, closely followed by my tie, jacket and hand-tooled shoes. A one way ticket to the airport is crumpled and sweaty in my hand.
My new life start here.

Great mystery Freya. I like that you are able to raise questions in your piece. Hmmmmm…..Gabriella raises an interesting point.
