She was sitting at her kitchen table deep in thought . Elbows on the table and her hands holding her fore head. Why can't she find a good men? She wasn't desperate but some men wanted real life , right away. And ... no, not happening. She loved herself and her family too much to cause them the pain of her moving away ,just to be turned around. So hard to find someone honest about them self. Lies and more lies. Married, underage, lazy looking for woman with money so they can move in with them and suck woman of every penny like a leech. She retired early. That was her answer when asked. which it was true. But she didn't retire. She was fired, out of a work mate lousy lie. Looking to avenge herself. She had said it one night they were having a heated difference of curse of action. She said to her. 'Nobody disrespected her without paying for it'. Even the supervisor new it wasn't true. But she had the report on paper and ink and she could not prove otherwise.
This sent her into the deepest depression ever. She was the sole provider for her two teenage sons. She paid for everything. It took a year for her to get federal help and for her medications to do something for her. She found this virtual universe while playing internet games. She loved to decorate, play music and yes, even model as an avatar. Now she was alone 6 yrs after and felt so lonely. She missed to kiss and being kissed, to be held, to make love. And this was the only place she could make a world she felt good. She never answered the phone to anyone that was not her Mom, her sons and her only real friend Tammy.
She knew her avi did not look anything like her. She had gained weight, her hair was curly shoulder length reddish brown. But she didn't say she was like that. She had photos in her IM albums. one album had pictures of the real her. She did not want any guy to fall for the looks of her avatar. But for was in her heart. She kept it simple and real.
She was in her night beach public room . Listening to the sea. She also had orca sounds. And she looked at her list of friends in that community . They all had a partner or wife or husband. She loved to create. That's how she made a few credits here and there. She had no money to put into it.She felt like the last of her generation alone in IM. And so that night like many others she couldn't sleep. So she logged in and went to her own room , it was empty, but she always felt comfort in it. That's when she noticed the pinned internet icon flashing. She looked up and saw a nice looking male avatar in the room.... just standing there.She greeted him.
Bonita: Welcome.
Joseph: Hello. After a few seconds of standing there, and the avi's hand waved at her.
Joseph1958: My name is Joseph. Nice to meet you
Bonita: Yes I know. I can see it on the bar. lol "Oh yeah, he is new". She thought to her self. His avi sat next to her.
Bonita: Same here. :)
Joseph1958: I must apologies, i am new here.
Bonita1958: I noticed. She said and giggled.
Bonita: Your 57 and your from the USA.
Joseph1958: How did you know all that? The guy asked her as if it was a magic trick.
Bonita: I always read profile cards when someone enters a room I am in.
Joseph1958 I see...
Bonita: You are very quiet...
Joseph1958: I am sorry i am a bit shy.
He is sweet. She thought.
Joseph1958: Do you like music?
Bonita: I do. Very much. I like to chat while I dance. Would you like to slow dance? She offered
Bonita: Here. She invited.
On the screen her avatar dancing slowly like a ballroom dance. His avatar nailed the dot in front of her, no problem.She added a slow music mix, why? from 3T. She loved that one.
Joseph1958: Awesome song .
Bonita: I love this group and the music. Too sad that so many things interrupted their career.
Joseph1958. Yeah... very.
And so the night went on and they chatted and danced until she said she was sleepy and no wonder, it was 5 am.! Michael felt sleepy as well. So day added each other as friends and with the promise to meet again.
