Emancipated

Rush hour. The taxi had stopped a long way from the station. She is tired now from the walk and puts off her shoes and stockings. She is sitting on her luggage waiting for the half past five train. She is running away as always when things get complicated; leaving everything behind. She will begin anew somewhere else until she gets into trouble again, until she needs to take on responsibility for her life. Then she will pack her stuff and run away - as she always does.
