Ficlets

reading leads to plotting

She couldn’t get the idea out of her head.

It had started out as a joke, no more than a crazy dream.
She had been reading the latest issue of “runawaysâ€? and felt rather envious of the kids.
Her parents weren’t part of a psycho cult to destroy the world,
But they didn’t get her. They never had. And in her opinion, they had no inclination to try. So they left her alone most of the time. .Sometimes she thought they wanted another kid.

One day, out of boredom, she started to think how she’d do it.of course, she could just pack up and go, but It wasn’t her way.she didn’t need a detailed plan. just some general idea of what to do and where to go.

She’d need money. Cash, that was important.
She could steal one of her parent’s credit card to buy a bus ticket. It wouldn’t matter if they knew where she was going, cause they wouldn’t be able to find her anyway. It was just the first stop.

If she planned it right, days could go by before they realized she was gone.

She could even be out of the country by then.
