Broke Lady

Selena sat at her desk, staring at the ledger in front of her with an expression that could only be described as pure horror. The numbers blurred together, but no amount of blinking could change the grim reality they spelt out. She was short of funds. No, not just short- REALLY short.

Her fingers tightened around the edge of the ledger as the crushing weight of her situation settled in. The days of extravagant spending, which she thought were harmless at the time, had finally caught up to her. The old Selena was really being a pain right now.

The dresses, jewellery, parties, and the endless flow of gold she had lavished on so-called "friends" now stared back at her in the form of a gaping hole in her finances. Well, it was her fault for returning the money she set aside.
