Blighted Day: A Short Story

Improved Essays
What a blighted day. I was hoping to go out to the sea drowning myself in the cool sea water fighting against the heat wave. But it wasn’t that easy. Flying through the air with a hunk of metal would be crazy talk but in the days where internet doesn’t exist. The flight was pleasant, the air stewardess were gorgeous with their curves all at the right place. The flight meal for once taste amazing. Absolutely amazing. Who would have thought I would enjoy an airplane meal.

“What happen here? What did you do to Melanie? You sick pervert!” a band of women charge forward tending to their friend who was on the verge of mentally broken and I being nonchalantly label as some pervert. How disgusting women at times. They come to conclusion without even investigating. Deliberately slander someone without proper questioning. I love women, they are beautiful being created by the creator. But sometimes that beauty fades when they act as such, mindless without rational

She was the most rational woman I’ve ever met. Its a wonder how she could be so rational even when bickering with my father. My father couldn’t hold a candle against her.

“What are you staring at you sick perv!” again the slander aches my heart. Nevertheless I have no obligation to entertain their heart prickling words. Might as well turn my tail and run away.

“What’s going on here?” my step halted as I turn around familiar with the voice. Dress in her tight fitting flight attendant uniform, she looks dazzling. Her eye catching blazing red hair neatly fashion into a bun and her serene green shade eyes were another attraction that was hard to avoid. I remember her name, Carmen was her

    “The Perception Gap” In the United States, women earn about 76 cents for every dollar earned by their male counterparts. Even worse, many Americans refuse to acknowledge that this wage gap is an indicator of continued oppression of women.

    We were comfortable financially. The car and even the garage followed new apartment, furnished with imported furniture, high class by Soviet standards. My work situation was also good- I had friends at work, and functioned as a secretary of our group union, but the bug of immigration was in my heart and in my brain. Actually, I need to mention one very important factor about myself- from the early age I hated Soviet government, I hated corruption, lies that were constantly fed to us, our useless communist bosses, and I dreamed of going to Israel. America was not on my agenda.…
