Going Home
Kaylee was beginning to see the world clearly again, not just in the dull grey colours that had clouded her vision. She didn’t know how long she had been here, but it had been some time since she had been found in the warm bath with her wrists cut open. They had stitched her up and sent her here.
Today the doctor said he was pleased with the progress she’d made. She hoped she would eventually get out of here and return home. She knew now this would happen, that she would be whole again, that she would survive.

This was written with the prompt to write a story that rephrases “light at the end of the tunnel” provided by the Carrot Ranch January 21 Flash Fiction Challenge. This is my second one.

With the story’s outcome, I appreciate the line, “They had stitched her up and sent her here.” Her light was the desire to be made whole again.

The first line says so much.

I hope she will be fine this time. A brand new chance. A light at the end of the tunnel. Nicely illustrated.
