Written by Jacob Ibrag
She didn’t want to wake up. Her eyelids shut
the world outside of them. It wasn’t supposed to be
this hard, she thought. They promised opportunity,
not a rude awakening. Maybe it was time to give up
and move back home. It was easier, it was the only
thing she knew. She imagined seeing her mom again
and holding on forever. It was safe and familiar, and
everything she hated. ‘I promised myself I’d fly out
of there and strive to be my own being.’ She wasn’t
going anywhere, she wasn’t at the very least finished.
