This week's microfiction is a 60-word story about a fresh start.
Many of my micro stories are inspired by prompts provided by THE FICTION DEALER Substack. I highly recommend checking it out if you’re interested in reading more microfics — or writing your own!

Now she was on her own.
Surveying the new space, she smiled at her cat with love in her eyes. “We’re home.”
