Ok... I lied...BBQ Beef Wotsits **TWISTED** totally own me right now. I am fat.

*ponders...gives up on self pitying, cos it's own fault*

Drumming her fingertips on the white Formica table, staring in open mouthed disgust at the small child pouring salt into shapeless patterns onto the table in front of her, and she was thinking too hard again. The flashing cursor on the small screen seemed to mock her. What else was there to type, argued she.

What?? What did I do?

Flash. Flash. She sighed, drinking the last of the awful coffee from a chipped mug, she was thinking too hard again. Lighting her third cigarette of the morning and wondering how to explain this one to her parents; another sigh. They would be so disappointed. Twenty one, unemployed, smoker and now a little one on the way; life was certainly grand. The problem was obviously the latter, how to tell Mike was an even bigger one. Text messaging, was without a doubt the most terrifying invention of the last ten years, she reasoned. It enables a person to be very cruel in a very short message, having only a limited number of characters makes it all the more callous and intense.

ITS OVER

Yep, that was Mike at his most blunt. She?d read the message over and over in disbelief. She could simply not understand that man?s arrogance, how could he treat her with such nonchalance, especially after all she had done for him. She had a good job, family, friends, most importantly, a life away from him. All those things that belong in the past. Her future didn?t appear to great either.
A greasy fringe couldn?t hide her tears, her disappointment at being let down; again she felt trapped. She could only thank him for the life inside her and the venom.
