It was the morning before her first day at work in this new town. Iona wondered what the other criminals would be like. She woke up in her cosy sleeping bag and hung her high school diploma on the wall, it made the old ruins seem more homely. After munching a bowl of cereal for breakfast, she got dressed for work and a buzz of excitement washed over her. There was nothing better than being evil to get the adrenaline flowing. And so the carpool came and she went off to work feeling super excited for the day ahead. |
Sadly, after work at the gym, Iona didn't feel the same excitement. She was miserable, bored and upset. Starting at the lowest ranks all over again seemed unfair to a woman with so much experience. It didn't help that she'd already fallen out with the boss after questioning his authority over a job. But these things happen when you're rebellious like Iona. She took a nice warm shower at the gym and then had a quick swim. Splashing random strangers greatly improved Iona's mood and she vowed to keep her job. Besides, she needed the money to buy a shower. |
The routine of going to work, heading to the gym for a shower and sleeping under the stars continued for a few days. Throw in a little bit of home décor and working out and Iona's week was pretty much summed up. A couple of promotions later and Iona finally had enough money for a decent shower, things were looking up. Eventually it was Iona's day off and she decided to go clubbing to celebrate. Ever the party animal, Iona got a bit juiced at the bar. In fact, she got very juiced. By the time she got home at six o'clock the next morning, Iona had very few memories of the night before. It was all a dark blur. She remember playing pool, dancing and shouting at an old lady. But had anything else happened that night that Iona couldn't remember... |
