LISA

In the Beginning

Its a cool afternoon,the breeze blows through Melissa's devil red hair tangled from work and the uneven and hasty way she had tied up the huge bulk of hair."Lisa,Lisa my goodness you should not be doing this"that was carter one of the farmhands he had to take a quick break only to find Lisa doing his job of lifting the feeds into the barn."Hey carter,dont you go getting a heart attack on me,its just some sacks"i do not know how people around here think I should just sit behind the desk all day with papers and taking stock and all.College will not take out the country in me".Carter takes over the loading and Lisa finds her way back to the house/office.
She finds her way into the house, a little hungry from the work she'd done and not eating all day,Doh!what was she supposed to expect.She finds some left over lasagna in the fridge and she gladly feasts on it drowning it with a glass of water.Shelby the cat comes in greeting lisa with her wiggling whiskers,this place was like a second home to her since her parents died in a fire years ago."hope Shelby ain't trying to bribe you for some milk"Lily O'Connor owner of the farm and a widow too but she takes care of the farm like her husband was still breathing.

Lisa stands looking into the mirror at her own reflection.She notices the bags under her eyes from work and nights when she'd stayed awake tending to the farm accounts,but she was here now in her own room where she had been standing in a bpack dress six years ago.The room hadn't changed,Lisa steps out into the corridor and makes her way towards the kitchen.Something inside her moves and she starts to feel the sting in her eyes,she opened the kitchen cupboards and began to rummage through it and she found it the napkin she had embroidered "MOM LiSSA DAD" was on it. At that instance she felt it the despair,She is an orphan with nowhere to go if she wasn't 18 at that time she might have ended up with some strange family or a distant relative. She begins to sob into the napkin and let the tears mirror her pain. Click!Click! Lisa stops crying and wipes her face,someone has a key to her house she wondered why. Lisa claims a rolling pin as her weapon and starts towards the sitting room,slowly and as stealthily as possible moves behind the figure that seemed to have sensed her presence too. The person was definitely not the size of giants in 'Jack the giant slayer' she could definitely take this person. With a full swing she bashes the pin into the person's head. The strangers faces Lisa and she thought turns out it was a lady who is now holding her head in pain. Lisa feeling so confused and sorry just stood there
