Samantha Garcia

Submitted to Contest #61

The dresses looked casual, but formal at the same time. Even how slim the women’s body looked because of the corset.

Philip said, sitting beside Jared "Philip, it feels like a long time since Lilith has hung out with us," Jared stated "Jared, she's a manager of a big company so of course she wouldn't be able to hang out with us," Beatrice stated, walking into the living room "And I'm a college professor, but I still make time," Jared said "Jared, just stop.

"Ugh!" I slowly placed my hand on my forehead as I felt it pounding intensely I slowly sat up and carefully open my eyes as I couldn't tell whether it was night or day. Once my eyes were open, the curtains were drawn, but there was light seeping through.

I looked like I was caught in a hurricane. My hair was tangled like you could see it was in clumps."Going to be a pain in t...
