Allie, our protagonist, gives us a glimpse into her life as a closet inflationist when she decides that the time to hide is over.&nbsp;Allie is neither young nor in the prime of her life. She has lived a full relatively normal life; and with her obligations winding down she decides to embark on a new path. She's not sure what the result of her announcement will be; but she hopes to seen as a liberator rather than a freak, and she hopes that others will be inspired to seek out their own freedoms following her example. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br /><br />This story is just a plain old inflation piece. It started with the idea of someone coming out to an audience, I wasn't sure why or where, and the idea just kind of grew. (if you'll pardon the horrible pun (ugg...)) I guess I wondered what had happened in her life (inflation wise) to take her to this point, so I kind of hit the high and touched on the lows, and I think it came out alright.<br /><br />I forgot, my thanks to <span class="username-with-symbol u"><a class="u regular username" href="https://skindral.deviantart.com" >skindral</a><span class="user-symbol regular" data-quicktip-text="" data-show-tooltip="" data-gruser-type="regular"></span></span> and <span class="username-with-symbol u"><a class="u regular username" href="https://winstonmp.deviantart.com" >winstonMP</a><span class="user-symbol regular" data-quicktip-text="" data-show-tooltip="" data-gruser-type="regular"></span></span> for providing editing services.
