Sharon fell hard into her large, black office chair and trembled at the thought of some male presence being "attached" to her. She wanted to know more, to go and find Marisol and get to the bottom of this mystery. She felt dirty too and wanted nothing more than to get "cleaned."
Staring at the worn brown stain on the floor in front of her she timidly asked Candice, "Does it hurt? Cleaning, I mean."
Candice tried to contain her laughter, "Not unless he won't let go."
"Would Marisol tell me more about him? Could you make him go away?"
"I will go and get what I need to clean you, and I will ask Marisol to come in, but I can't guarantee she will," Candice looked down at the ground as fast as she could to hide her expression.
"You keep that stuff here?"
"I do," Candice mocked a straight face. "This has happened before, you know?"
"Really?" Sharon was astounded by these women with supernatural powers and how they seemed to be introduced regularly to people who needed cleaning.
"Let me go talk to Marisol."
Sharon became very frightened at the imaginings running through her brain. She couldn't fathom what spirit presence might be stalking her. She lowered her head and in her good Christian way began to pray, "God, please take this evil..."
"April Fool's!" came a resounding scream from just outside her office door.
Sharon looked up to find Marisol, Candice, and the rest of the administrative staff looking at her and laughing heartily.
Her tear-stained face red with embarrassment, Sharon couldn't help but join in the prank.
It's your turn. Could the story keep going? I guess you'll just have to wait and see.
Until next we meet, I remain Unstoppable.
That's me, the Unstoppable Ms. Start. The Ms. was Mrs. up until December 20th when my spouse left me and our little girl to start anew. Now, not only am I a writer and design professional, on-the-go mom, and true-to-herself woman, I'm thrust into that ugly "D" word. I'm here to share my divorce journey, my life as a mom and writer, the fears, stress and ultimate triumphs that come from starting over. My plan: to Emerge Unstoppable!
Emerge Unstoppable in 2011!
Emerge Unstoppable in 2011! That's my mission this year. Join me as I blog about life during divorce, raising a three year old, and the fight to live one's dream of being a writer, a graphic designer, a prayerfully a success at it all.
