She will choose her own fate.
Chloe runs away from her family home because she will not marry the man her brother deems suitable. After all, in the 21st century, the choice is hers to make.
Muddy footprints reveal that she is being followed. Is it the man her brother has chosen for her? Is it a stranger who preys on lonely women?
Or is it a ghost?
Genre: FICTION / Short Stories (single author)New Release April 2023
OTHER THAN RAIN filled footprints in the mud, there was no trace of the one tracking her, and even those vanished when rock replaced mud underfoot. Part of her desired to hug the river, for then she would be certain she was still being followed. The other, greater part of her wanted to vanish into boulder territory higher up. She would then leave no footprints to shadow.
She caught sight of the tracks by accident on the first day. Having realized she left her water bottle behind when she briefly rested as dawn arrived, she retraced her path … and discovered the prints. Fresh, and clearly stepping alongside those she herself made. No sight of the one making them, but every time she looked back, there they were. It felt as if a ghost tracked her, for whoever it was, was good at hiding in plain sight.
