Along South Central Alaska’s coastal highways are posted signs that say ESCAPE ROUTE. Among other signs such as AVALANCHE AREA ENDS (I was in an avalanche area? Shiver), these can pull you up short if you are unaware.
Alaska has many earthquakes every day. Some might cause a Tsunami. In such a case it’s best to be aware of the perfect escape route.
Would that LIFE had such signs for us when we face “interesting” situations:
ESCAPE ROUTE
Do not pass GO
Enter here
EXIT ONLY
ONE WAY
TURN BACK
All too often I miss the “subtleties†of such signs.

Velvet Verbosity’s 100 Word Challenge this week is ESCAPE. The above is my take on the word. Now, it’s YOUR turn. Ready? Set. Write!
In Gulf Coast Florida, hurricane central, we have Evacuation Route signs. A little gentler than Escape Route. Whichever would be welcome during other life disasters.
Too true. And, yet, they are often posted for us to find. Robin
