The Boarded Window by Ambrose Bierce

Send a Question for the Book Club or a Story Request"...people of the frontier—restless souls who no sooner had hewn fairly habitable homes out of the wilderness and attained to that degree of prosperity which to-day we should call indigence than impelled by some mysterious impulse of their nature they abandoned all and pushed farther westward, to encounter new perils and privations in the effort to regain the meagre comforts which they had voluntarily renounced."So many of us reach our goals, only to set out and repeat the cycle: finally got that promotion or house? Well, it must be time to change jobs or get a new house? But what if you were one of the few, who stayed put. In this Ambrose Bierce tale, narrator Rae Wilson invites us to explore that very question.Read the StoryNo Way Out - by David Robson"Sneaky Snitch" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/______________________________________________________Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0 LicenseCountry Sounds https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/
