A Flash Of Light Would Fill Through The Windows

She pushed the bangs of her red hair out of her face with one hand before grabbing the top blanket again and drawing it around herself. Emily hated storms but was stubborn, wanting to prove to her family that she could handle living independently after graduating college only six months ago. She had hastily searched for a place to live near the campus as a means of defiance because her parents believed the area unsafe for a young girl to be alone. She stuck her nose up at the concept at the time. She had lived near the area for the last five years, traveled to and from parties, and even hung out with friends in other apartment complexes nearby plenty of times. Living here would be no different, she thought.

What she didn't anticipate was that the landlord would charge her a hundred dollars more than the rest of the tenants and give her a leasing contract that would all but guarantee that she would stay the two years that she had signed on for. There was a list of adventures as well that she could recall by each month. As she sat there feeling the downpour and rumble shake her bones, she thought out each month and the stories she decidedly omitted from her parents.
