Inspiration: The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

Character: Esther Greenwood- part 2

_____

Esther's Mother drained the ice cold water from the tub. She told Esther to undress while she filled the tub again. 

Instead of undressing, Esther walked to the record player on the table next to her bed. She turned it on. Put the needle to the record. It didn't matter what record. 

Esther turned the volume to max. The music played. She didn't hear it. Wanted to feel the vibrations of the player. First thing she felt in weeks. 

Esther didn't notice her Mother yelling at her to turn it down. She closed her eyes and focused on the vibrations.
