Flash Fiction #2 – A bit post-apocalyptic

A reminder that these stories are from timed prompts, so some end abruptly. I’ll consider writing more for some if I get requests. Also note that this was written in February, before 2020 fully hit.

Boxes lined the walls. They turned the center of the room into a maze of alleyways. Graceful Exit had become the safe place in town,
