“I must get on that ship?” by Trish Tyler

Submitted to Contest #29

She wanted to make changes in 2019, but all she did was move from one lousy job to another. She did everything she was supposed to. She weighed her pros and cons. She asked for advice from her mother, but where was she now? Ten pounds heavier, staring down the barrel of menopause, on Wellbutrin and questioning every decision she had made. This “Start To...
