Lily could hear the women laughing, loud and excited as she came down the corridor.
Tonight was Zenobia’s ‘Hen party’.
Zenie was a popular member of staff and ‘everyone’ was going.
As Lily came out of the building she saw the van drive off, the laughter dissipating in the distance.
Lily stood for about a minute watching the van drive off without her.
No one had invited Lily, in fact Zenie rarely spoke to or at her. It was ridiculous for Lily to have thought she was invited. And as she stood there, voices from her past, images pushed in.
She was not twenty eight but eight.
Eight years old a girl closing a door in her face saying; “No body likes you.”
what a difficult situation for Lily – you’ve laid this out well. Looking forward to the next iteration!
I hope you like the story
i really do so far, my issue is that I have to remember to go check your profile because of all the crap posts that fill the 20 posts i can see in the AM!
I have to force myself to skim down, always flopping over some nasty Hate Speech that the creature posts.
there are many that post 5 times a day, each of them short and they fill the current feed of the page.
I make 5 posts but try to space them so they don’t come out in a blob
these are all done within 20 minutes of each other.
People find the weakness… i.e. no moderation, just delay… and exploit it
This is not a good situation to be in.
Many people bring it on themselves as does Lily
Yes they do but it is not always the situation.
When there is no hatred for the religion or race and the person is just horrible…
