She had strayed from the beaten path, wandering in the dark woods, a scene that mirrored her own uncertainty. Around the bend, an old typewriter hovered above a boulder, beckoning the girl to share her heart. She approached cautiously. Tucking under her long white dress, she sat in the moonlight, allowing the tap-tap of a few keys to echo into the night... Nothing happened. She tapped a few more, and a few more, gradually disappearing into a space all her own, a space she hadn't known existed. Her words became less guarded as her passion augmented, and this honesty, this vulnerability, refreshed the soul. A small puff emanated from the machine and grew larger, manifesting the detoxifying effect of her truth. She smiled as she watched the smoke dance higher and higher, carrying her story to the Universe.
