Hello everyone,
Here is the prologue of my new story. I know that I haven't finished any of my other stories but I just felt inspired. Hope you like it so far.

The sun was shining. The sky was blue. The birds were singing. The flowers were in bloom. Everyone seemed to be happy. From the window she was standing from, she could see the children pulling their mothers and fathers by the hand towards the park. A couple was sitting on a bench staring into each other's eyes. A dog was running towards a frisbee, it's owner running after it, laughing.
It seemed like the entire world could agree that this day of all days was the most beautiful they had ever experienced in a long time.
A young woman knew better though. Standing at her window all day, she knew that it couldn't last for long. Turning away from the beautiful scenes at her window, she looked around the empty apartment. It was what most people would have called a prime piece of real-estate. The view was anyone would wish it to be, a hard wood floor covered every inch of the apartment giving it a warmth it might have lacked otherwise. The walls were pristine white ready to be decorated with paintings, drawings or anything else the lucky owner would wish to hang. The kitchen was filled with the most up-to-date appliances. One could even smell how new this apartment was.
It was also that newness that this young woman despised. The kitchen though beautiful had never been used. The view only reminded her of what she could not have. The white walls were bare of any decoration since she would not be staying here long. The floors were as equally bare of any furnishings for the same reason.
As she stood in the empty room, she wondered if this would be the only thing she would and could ever look forward to.
Glancing outside one last time, she decided that tonight she would have to leave. She had stayed in this one place way too long for it to be safe.
Heading into the bathroom, she tied her long, silky black hair into a bun. After closing the door, one could here the shower running. A long time would pass before the shower would be turned off. As if that person was desperately trying to get clean…

So what did you think? I know it's very short but should I continue? Let me know.
