Ficlets

too many times.

There was once a very very rich teenage girl. she was 17. living in an extremely large house that most would call a mansion with her mother. her father had gotten in trouble with the law and went to jail. the mother had the money to bail the father out of jail easily. she just didn’t want to. nobody understood it. people talked. rumors were started. the press took pictures and wrote news articles about it. the mother became known throughout the world for her selfish deed. she was called “Selfish, ungrateful, messed up, stupid, careless, ” and so much more… the young girl was thought of as her mother also. according to people throughout the world, she was going to be pointless in life.
3 hours after watching another episode of the news about her and her mother… she wrote in her diary. it said “is it really so selfish, ungrateful, messed up, stupid, and careless of us to keep a man behind bars who continuously threatened my life, and too many times, almost ended it?”
