Eve
of Bliss

It was already seven pm and the party starts at nine pm. She was getting ready and nervous as all hell. Today, Amanda turns thirty-eight. It has been a long ride of trauma the past two years. After losing her job two years ago as the Assistant Vice President of Alluring Toys Inc, a sex toyshop, she hit rock bottom. She had to move in with her eclectic cousin, in a one-bedroom apartment, after receiving death threats from a crazy customer that was distraught that the store had gone out of business. Three months after that, she made a one-eighty turn and joined a neighborhood church and became part of the women’s group. She had found God. Her Goth boyfriend, Delgado, declared her officially insane, and they broke up. She started dating one of her church brothers. Four months later, her cousin was rushed to the Emergency room for very high fever. Test results revealed that she was dying of Colon cancer. She never left the hospital bed, till her death day, six weeks later. The anger of her cousin’s passing drove her away from the church, and back into the arms of Delgado. With the anger of not having answers; she felt lost and aimless. The pain would not go away, and she was suffocating in misery and depression. Her church boyfriend Chance gave up on her as well. She was starting to drive him nuts. Delgado brought the candy of party pills and Heroine. She understood addiction intimately. The combination eventually made her a perfect wreck. At a point,
however, it looked like the battle between good and evil in Amanda.
She would go to church on Sunday and spend time with Chance. He
would spend hours convincing her to come back to church, come
back to God. She would feel refreshed and encouraged until Delgado
comes around that evening. She would spend time with him and slip
into blissful sin until the next Saturday night. The roller coaster
drove her to hell and back each week.
