Looking away from the screen, you take in your husband lounging on the sofa. One hand half-tucked in his pants, recoiling at how your life has turned out. Catching your reflection in the screen, you see the defeat etched on your face, as you wonder where it all went wrong.
You doubt this e-mail is real, but it has made you realise how much you were sleep-walking through life, and had now cast away the happier choices earlier in your life. It was a life as a drudge, a monotonous routine, or preparing his meals, and seeing the kids off to school. Enthusing about their tedious stories, and faking it.
You do love them, but you have to confess to not liking them. It's a painful revelation, but staring across to the man you married. The sight only gives you more pain, and the feeling you've settled.
Clicking on the link, you feel the need to unburden yourself. As a box opens up, your name is at the top of the page. The cursor blinking slowly, inviting you to create a new life... a new history... to create a new you. The blankness oddly outraging, as you think of all the things you want to change, all the mistakes, and easy choices you made that led you here!
