PEEK

     She was on her toes as she peeked over the gate, but let's not
     get ahead of ourselves.
Everyday she would walk past that fence in her daily routine, always wondering and dreaming what it would be like on the other side. There were said to be such wonders behind it; adventures and marvelous things that children could only think of. She had also heard that once she looked over that gate she could never go back, but that couldn't possibly be so. After all, the excitement of looking over had consumed her every thoughts to cause even anxiety at times. There was so much curiosity about that gate and the joys behind it, so she decided to finally look. Just one peek would be all; it wouldn't hurt anyone anyway; so really she decided to peek. As she quickly walked towards that gate her head started to spin as the rush of something new came closer. And so, she was on her toes as she peeked over the gate.  And then she looked.
