Paranoia

Paranoia

Mrs Malcolm and Mrs Gibson, both arrived at Corey's house, just in time to witness Jasmine's shattered state. They were received by Corey, who led them to the sitting room, where Jasmine had turned to her mourning room.

Cladded in a light pink cardigan and matching leggings, Jasmine was curled up on a double couch, sobbing and sniffing. There were several used and crumbled tissue paper, littered all around her. Her eyes were swollen and her face was reddened.

Every now and then she would blow into a tissue paper and toss it on the floor. All attempts made by Corey to console her and pull her out of her miserable condition proved abortive.

In Jasmine's pitiful state, one could assume her for a young bride whose groom had just passed on.
