The unfourtant sleep

Sandra woke face to face with a keyboard as the clock tolled five p.m. It was time for the office workers to head home, So she pulled her sleek black hair back in a tight bun. As she spun around in her chair to no surprise she saw her plump boss with his infamous cold glare down upon her.

     "What are you doing sleeping on the job again!" he screeched at her like an angry owl."Come to my office on the double." he inplied in his old milatary tone.

     Sandra followed sluggishly knowing just what would happen since it is her fourth time falling asleep on just this job alone. He would screech some more then ask three queastions.

      1. Do you have a medical problem of any kind to make you fall asleep

2. What was the reason for you to fall asleep

3. Plainly explain youself and just why

     She could answer those, but her explanation is that the job itself is boring and very oridnary but the only job she could do. But he would just ramble on wondering why she even applied for this job. So, she sat there silent. The lecture ended in a sad voice her boss's words and voice was including pity, and it suited the situation perfectly. This was her third job this year not to mention other years.

       Of course she was fired. And all hope for another job were left in a mist behind her. There was no job  that could set sail for what she wanted.

   Also things just got worst at home with a letter informing her, that her youngest brother Daniel died in the airforce when an enemy plane shot them down. Her Mom and Dad were at her house trying to confort her, but it didn't work. She missed him she use to always play, talk and get into any mischeif even whgen they were fully grown

     "Sweetie I know the death was abrupt, but we must think of the good thing." she finished in a sad voice.

     "Yeah, like that is gonna work." She said discouraged. She couldn't believe he was dead

     The death just trigered tears and maybe later depression, but all she did was walked aimlessly. She pushed her parents away and continued walking until she felt a wet sensation on her pant leg. She walked right into the town lake. At that point she fell into a little ball and cried vigiourosly. When no more tears could pour out of her sore eyes she looked up. She almost fainted dead when two feet away an old fashion pirate ship appeared in front of her eyes.

A fantastic story about a depressed woman due to her brother's death and the loss of her job. It is very interesting story and fun to read. Finding a pirate ship will undoubtedly lead her to a great adventure in the following chapters. Great story.

the beginnings of a decent story, but it needs a little work....develope the story line a little better and separate the two main events that happen in this chapter, each could be fleshed out a bit.

all in all a good story.

Always,

I love this but I think you should have developed it a bit more. It just jumps from place to place with no real direction. If you just fleshed out the different situations it would be great. Also love the pirate ship ^-^
That was an awesome surprise :D

this girl seems to be walking empty. I know the feeling of wanting something and feeling a hole inside where that something should be... yet not knowing what to fill it with. Leaves someone walking aimlessly wondering all the while why she's still walking. Needless to say I love how you've started the main character. I look forward to reading more!
