    Jealousy

    What thoughts crowd a jealous woman’s mind?
    And where do they lead?

    Is it simply cerebral imbalance?
    Or
    Is it an unrelenting evil?

    T. R. Robinson

    My initial inspiration to write came from when I realised my life, as well as those of my ancestors, were anything but ‘normal’. They were certainly not ‘run-of-the-mill’. Originating within a very loving family I was, at a very early age, unexpectedly thrown into a very cruel world. Abuse, torture, violence and disappointment followed and have been my companions for as long as I can remember. However, there were also some enjoyable fun times that I recall with pleasure. For example: when a good friend and I, dressed in evening gowns and with our best jewellery on, fell face first into mud or when a young man, stopping me in the High Street, went on his knees to, as he put it, ‘worship’ me. These and other similar events still bring a smile to my face. Having survived the abuse, torture (World War II) and eventually escaping from domestic violence I went on to experience a variety of different employments. Laboratory assistant, night hospital orderly, machinist in a clothing factory, finally finding a niche in the world of public houses and night clubs as a barmaid and waitress. Though not glamorous these did provide the income, by working three jobs at the same time, to support and bring up my son. Regrettably I did not entirely leave abuse and violence behind me. But I am a survivor and am here to share a variety of tales, both factual and fictional, with you.

      Momentarily suspending the application of mascara, she watched, in the dressing table looking-glass, as he preened and peacocked. His antics, as he twisted and turned to observe himself from all angles in the full-length wardrobe mirror, brought a smile to her face. She’d always accepted, though not vain to the extreme, his was fully aware of his looks and physique and the impact he had on women. No denying, despite the passing years, he still retained the classical good looks he’d been born with: strong chiselled chin, intense blue eyes, Romanesque nose, masculine yet sensual lips, six-foot frame and dark raven hair. Beautiful. Handsome. Gorgeous. Desirable. What was the right word? All of them? Did it matter? Her longing for his touch threatening to overcome she averted her eyes. No one had ever affected her in the same way, not even those good looking boys who used
