My Purgatory Hell
Maribell had a promising life ahead of her, and a family that loved her. She didn't realize how much she took for granted until she lost her life. Now in order to rest in peace, Maribell needs to learn how to cope with the emotional chains holding her back. Through the help of a new friend, will she be able to find the peace she needs? ***** A/N: This story was inspired by a true event that occurred near where I live. A woman (who had kids and a husband) had lost her life. This initially started a spiral of thoughts leading to the creation of this story. There are a lot of mirroring qualities between my life and Maribell's, but unlike the lovely woman who had passed (I personally don't know her, but may she rest in peace), I don't have kids or a significant other, so I had to put my own spin on things. I also added in texting and driving, because the combination is unsafe. May you find this story to be as eye opening as I did when I wrote it! Comments and votes are welcomed and encouraged. Enjoy reading!Complete
