Title: Running Away (G)
Author: charisstoma
Word count: 100
Prompt: Independent



Dew was just settling upon the grass and leaves. He hoped that his footprints darkening the silvered lawn were gone before they discovered he’d left but walking on the crushed gravel drive was something he didn’t want to risk. It wasn’t that far to the city and he had food with him and his saved up allowance, there hadn’t really been that much to spend it on anyway. In a few weeks time, he’d be of age and then there’d be his inheritance and then there was Tony.

Tony. Somehow he’d convince him that he wasn’t a child any more.

Ah, the conflicts of family and desire. I can feel the boldness, the black and white view of life that comes with youth in this one - no compromise - sad, but determined.

Frightening for a parent or guardian if you love the young person. The one you're trying to protect is so cluelessly rushing into probable danger and abuse.

Terrifying.
