After unloading the few material possessions she ownedโa duffel bag, backpack portfolio containing all her watercolor and varnish, and a coffin-shaped case that held her bass guitarโMallory strode down the dock leisurely, the thump of her boots echoing off the wood. She readjusted the duffle bag strap on her shoulder and shook her hair out before rummaging through her purse in search of a flimsy, half-empty pack of cigarettes. Dodging through the dispersed line of people waiting for the ferry, a raucous laugh erupted from her as the children squealed out their appreciation for having witnessed "the ferries docking".
With a flick of her thumb, Mallory lit her cigarette and pocketed her lighter, nostrils flaring as she inhaledโsmoke and the aroma of a nearby coffee shop tinged the briny air. She moseyed along the sidewalk, smiling coyly at passersby as she made the familiar trek to the Clockwork Shop. Not much had changed since she had left for college, save for a few shops here and there, but for someone that craved spontaneity and grew restless with routine, Mallory felt a fondness she couldnโt quite place. Everywhere she looked, she could see memoriesโshe and her brothers barreling down the streets; the post where she crashed her bicycle; skinned knees and laughter. Home.
Stubbing the cigarette out on the bottom of her boot, Mallory flicked the butt toward a trash receptacle and peeked through the windows of her brotherโs business. She jogged around to the entrance, dropping her duffle bag to scratch playfully at the door with a laugh.
"'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at your chamber door," Mallory recited haughtily before a grin blossomed across her features. "I can smell you in there, Big Bird!"
