I've decided to combine my single word prompt, "hang," and my phrase prompt; "Paper rained down from the sky." Ready... GO!
School was finally out. Not simply out, but out forever. 'Twas the last day of Eileen's senior year. She was done, lest she chose to go on to college. At that point, Eileen had decided she would rather hang than go through four more years. Eileen sighed and trudged up the drive to the apartment she shared with her boyfriend, since moving out of her mother's on the turn of her eighteenth year, four months prior. She had hesitated, no doubt, though she came to realize the move would only make them stronger. A thin smile parted her lips, as she turned the brass knob. Tomorrow paper, and graduation caps, would rain down from the sky. They would be free to start their life together...
Or so she thought. Reality was; that was twenty seven years ago. Eileen was reaching the middle ages, working at Denny's for nineteen years now, and living alone.
