Dear Diary,
Time: 8.00
Today, for the first time I spoke about it. It being the taboo subject I never talk about. It being the subject that has ruined my life, my looks, my peace. It being Allan.
I told Mitch, I told him everything. I couldnt lie to him anymore because I love him and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Its a new beggining and new begginings have fresh starts. I didnt want to start my new life with lies and all that hate and disgust within me, but I told mitch and I now feel like a newborn baby. Ahh I am at peace now :) Now i have a future wedding to plan for ill be back later. toodles.

I've not told Mitch everything, I cant be a newborn baby he doesnt know about the flamingo and and ...and everything else. Shall I tell him? will he still love me? will he still marry me?
Dearest diary tell me, oh tell me what to do I dont understand. I'll decide after my bath, YES! thats what i'll do, long hot baths always help me think.
Excellent work.
ReplyDeleteSome really interesting and thoughtful writing which shows a clear insight into the character and the internal dilemma she feels.
The elation of telling Mitch about Allan and how this bring about hope followed by the desperation regarding the Hotel Flamingo and that dark secret is very effective.
ebi Spelling, punctuation and capitals - all could cost you a grade! Is the use of text punctuation graphics appropriate for Blanche in 1947?
