A Work in Progress

In an attempt to reconnect with my expressive/creative side...i decided to try out a new story...let me know what you think.....


It had gotten a little to normal in her marriage. Everyday she did the laundry, made the dinner, kept the house running. She'd kiss her husband every night before he went to bed and every morning before he went to work, it became something that seemed to melt into the mundane routine. Eighteen years of marriage and she finally began to realize how lost she was, how forgotten she felt, how lonely he had began to make her feel.

As she shut off the TV, she laid there and listened to the sound of him snoaring, she began to wonder what had happened to her life. Would he even notice if she put herself first for a change? Would he even care if for once she was true to her own wants and desires? That thought would sit with her for several weeks.

It's pretty amazing the way life throws you twists and turns. Often times you feel like theres no way out, but just when you least expect it, someone walks into your life and flips it upside down. This would soon happen to her.

He wasn't quite what she was expecting, but something caught her eye, something made her stay.  There was a certain mystery about him, and it kept pulling her in. And in time, with him, he began to make her feel new. For the frist time in so long, she felt beautiful and wanted.  A feeling that had long dissappeard in her marriage. He took out time for her, to listen to her, to gently hold her,  to be there when she cried and carried on. He was there to share her desires that had long gone unfullfilled. She found herself thinking of him all day long, wanting to be with him and ofter to him the answers to his own emptiness.

She wondered if he could really be so good, so wonderful, or was she just being foolish? How could someone like him come along and give her all those things she had been missing? How could someone really care so much?

Months went by, and she became someone that her husband never thought she could ever be. She became independent, confident, beautiful, desirable, and unfaithful. Her whole life had changed in so many ways.
And just as mysteriously as the stranger came into her life, he slipped out. Leaving her wondering where he had gone and what was the whole meaning. Was it to make her grow? Was it to renew her faith in love? What is to turn her into a better direction?

It's pretty amazing the way life throws you twist and turns. Often times, you feel like life can never again be as good as it used to, but just when you least expect it, life flips you upside down.
