Not sure where I'm really going with this, but I thought I'd give FF the ole college try.
It was September, 1998, Kelli was 21 years old, newly single after her now ex boyfriend had beaten her black and blue in a drunken rage recently.
She was preparing for work, a job that she used to love, but has since come to loathe as she feels trapped in a virtual prison without bars.
Her best friend had just left to return home in the city 50 miles away and honestly Kelli was beginning to hate the small country town that she'd once given credit to for her kicking her rather nasty alcohol addiction.
As Kelli stood at her dresser in her self loathing state, she heard a knock on the front door of the home she shared with a friend and his 4 children.
It was the boyfriend of her friend and Kelli informed that "Jessica" had already left because neither she nor Kelli thought he and his friend were actually coming.
The friend (Bub) informed Kelli that there had been a minor issue resulting in their tardiness and asked if I had time to meet his friend as previously discussed. Kelli said "sure" that she still had a little time before she had go get to work.
