create your own visited countries map

Very unrealistic map of places visited by Adelaide and the mister. For example, a visit to Shanghai, Beijing and a couple of places in between, splashes red across a huge swathe of unvisited territory.

She pokes into the corners of her mind, the layers of her soul, the curves of her heart. She pokes. Then she prods.

Even after spending the afternoon in a corner contemplating her actions, she was still filled with righteous indignation. No doubt about it, she had been wronged. And both her father and the mister agreed.

Injustice is a terrible thing.

Today was the first day of the rest of her life.

And she wasn’t even dressed yet.
