Write a story with the title, ‘Home at last’.

Prompt: Write a story with the title, ‘Home at last’.

Essay:

The engine sputtered one final time before falling silent. Ari yanked the handbrake with more force than necessary, her knuckles white against the cracked leather steering wheel. The road ahead disappeared into an inky abyss, framed by the faint silhouettes of jagged trees. Her breath fogged the windshield as she slumped forward, exhaustion pressing on her chest like a stone.

She was finally here.

Recommendation:
To refine narrative depth and emotional pacing, the writer could study The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Its layered description and exploration of mental conflict would help enhance similar elements in future stories.
