Submitted to Contest #66

She heard her email alert ding. The latest message in the inbox held one attachment. When her eyes met the magical unopened box on the screen Hazel’s heart raced, feeling something she hadn’t felt in years and years. Excitement. Pure raw giddy excitement. She liked this feeling, she missed it. Hazel thought about how close she was to finally laying her eyes, her feet, her being on the land she always wanted to meet. She double clicked the box. There was the magic ticket. The place, the p...
