Savvy Story – Carapace

travel-3161268_1920

She paces.

Two forward, one back; three forward, one back; for forward, one back.

And, in this way, she picks up her pace, each time, getting a little bit further.

As others, get further, they actually get closer – closer to a goal, to someone else’s goal – a goal that someone else set, for them. Once there, they stop for a while, and then – set forth, or further – closer to the next goal. And, so, the others keep on going – at the same, steady pace.

But, she. She, the pacer, doesn’t stop. She keeps on, further, and further (not closer), and the pace becomes a gentle jog, and the jog becomes a sprint, and the sprint becomes a roll.

She’s all wheels. No brakes. Wheeling until she’s out of sight, but not

out of her mind, still thinking, and not stopping ———————————————->

Published by The Silly-Savvy Salopian

Freelance writer and descendant of the cave dweller and outlaw, Humphrey Kynaston. Banished from Shropshire for my eccentricity, I have made my home in Suffolk. I write poetry, short stories, travel journals, comedy gig reviews and non-fiction articles. My wish is to write my way back into the heart of my birth land. All writing commissions (and free holidays in Shropshire!) considered.
