Jenna was, by all means, a normal woman. She wasn’t special in any way what so ever. She had a mediocre job, working for a pharmaceutical company. It didn’t pay much, but she was happy whit what she was earning. She also had a husband whom she, despite being an abusive, woman beating asshole, loved.

It was kind of pathetic watching her struggle to keep her relationship with this scumbag. But, then again, it’s not like she had a choice. I say this because; she didn’t want to leave him since divorce, to her at least, was a great sin. She was a religious fanatic so her beliefs stopped her from walking out on this piece of human waste.

Anyway, back to the tale at hand. She thought that this day will be like every other in her repetitive life. Every day she would get up in 7 a.m., got dressed and ate her breakfast. At around 8:30 a.m. she would go to work and be there until six p.m. But one day all of that was going to change.

It started off like any other. She got up, got dressed and went to work. She overslept so she didn’t have breakfast. But when she got to the pharmaceutical company a note was there. “The Dawson co. has been closed because of a bankruptcy”. This was odd to her for two reasons.

First of all the company she worked in was blooming and there were far from broke yesterday. And second of all shouldn’t she have gotten at least a note that they are shutting down? None of it was making sense. Jenna was frustrated about everything so she got into her car and drove back to her home. She wanted to make herself a bath and just relax from the stress this was causing her. As she was driving home she saw a shady figure standing in the middle of the street.

She beeped from him to move out of the road, but he didn’t care. He just turned his deformed face and smiled at her. She tried to stop but, she just couldn’t. Just as she was about to hit the shady man, he turned into a dark cloud. She stopped her car and looked up into the sky, like she was searching for him. But, the sky was clear, except for a few clouds.

And, just for a moment, Jenna could swear that she saw the clouds spell out a word “REMEMBER”.
