crushed lives

A Story by Pitta S Dev

Hungry when she unable to feed herself. It is terrible when she has to feed other stomach along with her. It is worse when she is abused by her partner as if she is a bad omen or a reason for hunger. It is terrible to see her children cry for food and weep at her unfortunate being. It is disappointing to see her husband fallen into useless ways- an alcoholic, a drug addict and finally a delinquent. At this point of her she has to stand alone to support her children, fulfill her husband's needs, and fill her hungry stomach to bear the responsibilities and thus commits herself to crush her life to shower fragrance to an unknown solicited male for a currency note and thus helping herself to steer the life.

The world calls her prostitute, a social worker named her a sex worker and a common man vocabulary speaks her as a w***e. Whatever the title she bears but the truth she endures is a "crushed life".

True, however I believe there are more ways one could get out of such situation.. mayhaps more difficult ways but they are there...
but as for the writing, interesting subject and I do see how things can lead to one another.
