A Real Christmas

A Real Christmas

What would you do, if the only thing you’ve ever truly wanted, is the one thing you know you will never be a loud to have? Would you let someone else tell you what you do and don’t want in life? 

It’s almost Christmas, the happiest day of the year for some, but for others it’s full of memories and times now gone, times that weren’t always happy, will this year be any different?

As she sits in the dark, waiting for the day to come, she contemplates her own fate as her partner lays a sleep upstairs in their bed. Is this the year where things will finally be different for her, or will it just be like every other year, every other day? If so, then why bother?
