MUNDANE: Isabetha Hernandez-Steel's life is just that; mundane. Working hard in a job that she loathes but she is married to her one, true love; Stephen Steel for the past five years. Life in their quaint two bedroom house isn't perfect; whose marriage is? But it is all she imagines it should be.
At twenty-five, she couldn't want more, nothing could go wrong. Until, Monday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My mother always said; Never start at the beginning of a story.
People tend to get bored.
The middle is the best bet.
All the introductions have been made, the plot established, a few jokes thrown in to lighten the mood. The story has life.
So here goes...my middle
Life had it out for me. Things went sideways pretty fast. No job...No husband...No house and no money
That's a lot of NOs, right?
I probably did something extremely bull-shitty bad in a past life. Karma is a bitch and she has me dead in her sights.
Name's Beth, short for Isabetha. Always hated that name. Mother only called me "Isabetha" when I was in trouble. And I was always in trouble, but I digress.
Today is Monday, I despised Mondays.
So here I am standing in the center of the shit-storm of my life.
