The Other Woman

My answer to this week's WordCatalyst writing prompt


Ah listen to them ‘lowly actress’ indeed! How dare he refer to me in such a manner, and she, she is a blubbering fool when it comes to him – ‘Oh fatha, we are simply acquaintances' - as if our love is nothing more than that of tittering schoolgirls at tea…well, I shall show them no matter how many times the church bells chime or distant seas I must sail…oh listen to her wail against his tirade, I shall not tolerate this, my timid treasure my love my darling Lizzie…we shall be together or my name isn’t Bridget Sullivan!

P.S. by the way... knowing what I now realize, that changes my initial reaction of "oh, how cool and clever" to "Oh how cool and clever... and CReEPY!!"
