This week’s photo prompt is provided by pixabay.com.
I had parked the bike around the back of the house. Yes, I am aware that is probably not going to be the speediest of getaways, but I am sure it is going to get me where I needed to be.
Away.
All my things were around me that I was going to need. I took one last look around the kitchen in the place that I had once called home.
Not anymore.
The escape plan had started being built the second that he hit me. It didn’t matter what kind of excuse he used, I was going to run.

I like the approach you took in that the bike is a getaway vehicle as opposed to just being parked there. Nice.

Getaway vehicle for a bank robbery was an idea I entertained for a while. I just saw a getaway, I guess! Thanks for reading.

A powerful story, Angie. She’s made the right decision in making her escape. Too many women stay in situations like these, making excuses for their partner’s violence. I hope her bike takes her far away from him. 🙂

Great story! Can’t help wondering whether you meant getaway but that’s just me. A gateway is also a good way of thinking of it.
