Portals. Micro-fiction contest (promoted by @jayna)
Dear friends, I leave for the wedding of your readings a microfiction as entry to the contest of very short stories promoted by @jayna. It is truly an attractive contest, in which, in a maximum of 250 words, you must tell a story from or inspired by a word. This week the word was "portal". I leave the bases here for those who cheer up. There is still time.
I am grateful.

Portals
She ran to the subway station. And although he noticed something unusual (but indefinable) along the way, she didn't stop. She was late.
That day, it was as boring as it used to be in the office, including the desire to send everything out for a walk and go to a lost South American coastline. Her days were like this. The crises worsened with the certainty of losing days.
It was not until she crossed the two clean columns of the portal of her building that she evoked that other portal, that of the flower shop next to the station. That morning the old woman who sold flowers, Esther, with whom he talked frequently, was missing. She was sweet. She had a grandson, Miguel, who helped her. She had not remembered another day, for three years, in which she had been absent.
The next morning she went to the flower stand. That she was gone, Miguel told her (her voice was muffled). She just didn't wake up. The young man gave her a small flowerpot.
"It's a narcissus. I think it's for you."
"The night before she left us, she told me she wanted to give it to the girl who wanted to live on the coast, so she wouldn't forget her dream."
Lena took it with wet eyes. She hugged Miguel.
That afternoon she resigned.
From the garden on this coast of a South American town, she often remembers how she began her long journey to this other sea.
Freedom for my country!

Thank you!
It's a pleasure to have you here!
Welcome always!
This is such a touching story, @adncabrera! I love how the lady from the flower shop encouraged her to follow her dreams. Sometimes we just need real encouragement from someone who cares to find the bravery to make a big change. Thanks so much for participating in the contest!
