Decisions

As darkness unleashed it's wrath, she stood there, a lone figure, shivering as the merciless wind swept around her, attempting to rob her of all possible warmness. Pensievely, she stared at the never ending meander before her. Torn she was, torn between a life full of bliss and her responsibility. Half of her wanted to turn back, to embrace all that was dear to her, but the other half of her knew, she had to move forward lest she'll regret her actions in the years to come. Albeit tormented by her dilemma, her eyes divulged only a subtle hint of distress, her impassive appearance masking her veracious emotions. Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward, letting the darkness envelop her. She stood there a moment, savouring the faint sounds of familiar, cheerful jabber, knowing that her journey will take her far from all familiarity. Using what will-power she had left, she refrained herself from glancing back. Valediction, she knew will not make what she was about to do any easier.
