While Taking A Drive To The Countryside
Time seemed to stand still. Here is a short story. Is it true or not?
“There’s nothing like the peace of the countryside, the quiet and the lack of distraction. It helps you to focus your mind.”
— Jenny Nimmo
A woman took a drive to the countryside to unwind from a hectic week in the city. Her mind and heart had been racing all week. Her anxiety had hit a new time high.
The woman wasn’t exactly sure where she was heading but knew she needed to escape. Maybe a few hours had passed, when she began to feel the heaviness of her stress growing lighter.
With each curve in the road, the woman felt a sense of calmness. She caught a glimpse of a gravel road to her right. She turned the wheel quickly.
It was a warm summer day, and the sun was shining brightly. The woman had the air conditioning turned on the entire trip. She decided to roll down the window to absorb the countryside air.
