She was feeling it again, that unfettered driving force inside her. It pushed through her thoughts each day, breaking her concentration, beckoning her to let it out. It dared to rip through her like a tidal wave destroying everything she had built up in the past four years. 'Go' it says, 'leave now' it chided, as if She could just forget all about Her problems today and run across the water on a beach She's never been to.

Didn't that voice know She has bills to pay? Careless as to which shore she might wash up on, She hungered to go anywhere the wind would take her. Knowing that these urges were irresponsible, She spent her days fighting it, trying to cage the raging force inside her. Like a dragon in her belly it hungered for a change. It tore at her until her focus was threadbare.

For years she contended with it head on. Shoving it down, building barriers of forged iron in the most obvious of places. She couldn't bring herself to kill it altogether. Maybe she didn't know how to.

Her tenacious thoughts snuck out of her in other ways. Ways he would surely notice. She knew it wouldn't be long before the dam that was her restraint would burst, so she took certain liberties to release the pressure. Not big moves, just small changes. He didn't even notice until the night He came home to a beautiful depiction of a forest on the bedroom wall. Just one of the many little signs that she hungered for the unknown. For Something...different. She knew it might be too much for him, she knew this could tear them both apart, but she had promised him she'd never hide anything she needed from him. And had he not promised to fulfill her needs and wants? He always wanted her happy, just how much that might cost him, or just how far it may push him he didn't know.

Without a warning, He would find out that she wasn't a woman he had married, but a hurricane with skin. He found the thing he loved and he was going to let it kill him.

She wondered how she was becoming just like her father. Thoughts of a grand escape plagued her. This town was shrinking by the second. He brushed this off as bordem, thought it was just some phase she could learn to grow out of. Only now were they starting to realize, this town has always been small. That would never change. Her soul was hungry. It was her that was growing to large for this town. She was too driven to idle her life away anymore, she knew where She had to go.
