I have friends in Vancouver and I think they'd agree with that! This is neat - I wanted to know more about the dog, and more about what the narrator discovers about herself!
And I just noticed your header ('good sentences') and I love it!
Yes - it's pretty gloomy here! At least during the winter months.
I thought about spelling it out a bit more about what the narrator discovers, but settled on a sort of open endedness/reader interpretation type thing. But yes, did wonder if I was giving enough detail apart from the ending! Thanks for the feedback.
I agree with the man she met-- that's not a life you probably really want to choose. It's a very hard one, and you have to really hate the confines of society more (or be unable to handle them).
But it seems as if the character has done some healing from whatever drove her to go off the grid. She might find the impetus to try again, now. I sure hope so.
Twenty years ago, I knew a lot of hippie wanderers spurred on by similar situations. I'm happy to say that most of them find themselves, but there were casualties along the way: both literal and figurative. Your piece explores that inner conflict well.
