"There is only one happiness in this life and that is to be loved" - George sand

Aurora has always been the 'unattractive, unattainable' girl throughout her whole life. No man has ever approached her with the intention of courting her, rather they approached her to learn more about her best friend. She was better known as a 'DUFF'. But now with her best friend dead and a baby depending on her, she finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage that will test and strengthen her character. Like most 21st century women, she views herself as a feminist. One who doesn't believe in love. She views love as a Capitalist movement created to control unsuspecting minds while breaking their bank accounts. But she finds herself falling in love with a man. Not just any man, her friends boyfriend who also happens to be her husband.

Deep In The Mud

"beep, beep, beep" is all  can hear as l slowly gain consciousness. My eyes feel heavy and no matter how hard l try, l struggle to tear them apart. The smell of disinfect enveloping me deep in its clutches. I can hear voices in the background but none of them sound familiar and l cannot make sense of what they are saying

The more l fight it, the more fatigued l feel and l feel my body slowly succumb to the pain and misery that the air around breathes out and all l can see is darkness, more vivid than before

"she will be waking up soon so make sure she feels safe or else that will be bad for everyone involved" l hear a voice say but there is no form of recognition and all l can do is lie there on the bed listening to unfamiliar voices talking about me
