The Wonderful Woman

The Wonderful Woman

Hosted by imgur.com
Every morning she takes her kids down to the train station, running to reach the train as it is leaving and getting her kids on the back of the train to send them off. At midday she returns to the station to pick up her kids that most of the time are pissed about something and tired that they make their mom carry the bags and whatever is in their hands.

Her house-work tires her and she is unemployed. She is an incredible woman. As anyone that is unemployed she has looked for a job tireless but there are not a lot of jobs that she is qualified for. With only a middle school degree and 10th grade education there is nothing much she can do.

I have always admitted her from the distance, but today she is coming towards me with her average body figure and bad haircut. She smiles and points her soul towards me, I feel dreaming then she puts a knife against my chest. I do as she commands. I raise my hands and she picks my pockets; takes out my cellphone and wallet. She smiles and runs away. That was the last time I saw that incredible woman.
