She looked down the deserted path
breathing in the rain-washed sky
soaking herself in warm, delicious solitude
The trials and tribulations
failed attempts
disappointing efforts
highs
and lows
triumphs
and exhaustion
all behind her
she thought of the one task that lay ahead
And as she looked forward
envisioning what the next few days would hold
a single, solitary word filled her mind:
Shit.
