HOPE
I gazed through the walkway, an unassuming path that screamed danger. I ignored the warning. My desire for freedom was like an unquenchable thirst. I would allow nothing to stand in my way.
It was my sixteenth birthday and the exact hour of my birth, the moment when we were given the option to join the cult or take the path to the unknown. Did I have the nerve?
Was it courage to want a life that didn't start with a motherhood before my seventeenth birthday? If I didn't make it through the gauntlet, it meant death.
I chose.
Hope.

Ohhhhh, very good one. And hope is such a strong word and feeling.
Have to break free from those crazy arse cults.
I'd choose hope as well.
Very nice. Those first lines really capture the feel of the photo too.
Nice. What a lovely short piece! I wrote one piece of flash fiction this short, and man was that tricky. You nailed it!
A good one These type prompts are always such fun to read.

Good story. I suspect I'd never be good at writing really short stories. Every word has to count and that is definitely not my forte.
Great story.
Love it!
I am glad she went for freedom and hope. :)
Wow! Good choice, but what are the consequences? Great, Yolanda!
