For the Unicorn Challenge…
Sue puts down her Kindle, places her fork between the neatly-cut slices of peaches, sits back in her chair, gazing at the cityscapes sprawled out before her. “It’s great to be home,” she sighs.
Over the last year, she’s traveled all over the world, stood on the ground of almost every country as well as tried all kinds of indigenous and local cuisines, if there was a place she missed the most, it was her apartment – a place she’s called home for the last 30 years. It’s the place where she had spent many late nights writing, whether for her work or for enjoyment.
Sue has been retired for 5 years now. She spends her time reading, writing, and plotting her next adventure. Today, her adventure lies in the city, where she will gather supplies for her next travel adventure to the mountains of the Himalayas.
She takes a sip of her juice and smiles, “What a life.”


Seems like Sue has found her place in life and with it true contentment.

That rare thing – a person who has found her peace in a life that she loves.I notice you’re using the present tenses – for me that makes stories more immediate. What do you think?

She has the best of both worlds …. the freedom to enjoy her traveling adventures and an inviting “pit stop” at home where she can relax and recharge before heading off again. What a life indeed!
