Rise and Shine

When her alarm had gone off this morning, Valerie was split between going to the gym or taking a walk somewhere new. She chose the latter. The weather was nice and there were plenty of little parks around here, including in Starling Hills according to a quick Google search. So she threw on her gear and headed out into the pale early morning.

Airpods were comfortably settled in her ears, distracting her from the miscalculated distance, loudly playing some guilty pleasure country music into her ears, before switching to something that sounded more techno-hip-hoppy. When she made it to the park, finally, she decided to just do a few walking laps around it, admiring the view of the little pond and the ducks.

She made a wide berth around the geese who arched their necks and stretched their wings at her, hissing as they weebled towards her. Nah, fuck those things. There was even one flexing at something in the water...

Oh, shit, a person! She pulled her headphones out, shoving them into her pocket and ran towards the edge.

"Are you ok?"
