Her Dumb Honour

Innocent, pretty, kind, and compassionate were the fitting descriptions for Karen Barger. She had been living her perfect life until it had begun to crumble at a time she least expected it. To seek comfort, she returns to Atlanta, her home, and unbeknownst to her, another piece of her world crumbles in New York. Along with her two friends in Atlanta, Karen’s life will be on a roller coaster, and she will experience raw, vulnerable, and intense emotions like never before. Determined to honour the vows of her closest people, Karen will go to the extreme ends to ensure they are happy. However, one by one, dark, buried secrets will be out in the open, leaving Karen over in the head after the realization that those she sacrificed everything for were not worth the efforts. Will she rise beyond the spiral of betrayals and vengeance, or will she succumb to them?

Know Your Place

Nelly stood rooted on thespot looking in shock and terror at Francis who was writhing in pain and cursing. Her heart beat faster, and many questions and scenarios rushed across her mind, all too unpleasant.

'Oh my goodness, he is in so much pain. What do I do? What if the force was so hard that he might die from being hit by a blunt object? Will I go to jail? Won't I serve a long sentence? Fuck, what was I thinking getting out of the kitchen and hitting this man?" Nelly thought. 

"Fraaank!" Karen screamed when she saw her son. She jumped across the room and slid on the floor to get to Frank. 

Luckily, she got to him and held him by one arm, then breathed deeply to express her relief. Safe in his mother's arms, Frank started crying, perhaps realizing then how he had been saved by a whisker from falling and hitting his head.
