Tick tock 2

Tick tock 2 (Priscilla’s story)

It was getting late. The alcohol was long gone and I was too tired to go out and buy another bottle. I was more than just physically tired, I was emotionally and mentally drained. My marriage had taken its toll on me.

I had lost interest in everything and my mood was persistently low. The doctor said I was clinically depressed and had prescribed some medications. But how do you treat the symptoms when the root cause was eating into me daily like a cancer.

I was tired of trying; tired of trying to fix something that could not be fixed. It had gone from bad to worse and when the sex, the last thing that held us together, stopped, I employed the services of a divorce lawyer. I did not intend to be caught off guard.

Tick Tock

Tick Tock
"This used to be a funhouse, but now it's full of evil clowns. It’s time to start the countdown..." P!nk - funhouse

Tick Tock

Ten years

Ten bloody whole years

Priscilla took a swig from the almost empty gin bottle. She knew drinking was a bad idea. Especially today. She should not be drinking today. He would be furious if he found her this way. The thought made her smile; he never got angry these days.
