Room 311


Anita Mahon put the newspaper down on the small end table and rubbed her tired eyes. It was quiet in the room and her mind began to wonder. ' Why me' she thought as she began to ponder about her life. She had lost her job at the bank three months earlier. Her search for a new one was starting to wear on her emotions and she felt tired all the time. Two weeks ago, she had read about a job finding conference at a local hotel. She felt deep down that she had nothing to lose by coming and giving it a try.
Even though today was Thanksgiving, she felt that trying to better herself was the right thing to do. She put on her best professional work outfit and then checked herself in the bathroom mirror. As she put her heels on, she thought about God for a moment.
' Why am I on this earth for' she thought as she checked herself in the mirror on last time. She did not believe in a God that she could not see. After going to a church on a dare, she was curious about the bible and that place where so called believers went to be together.
' I'll go to the job finding conference and then come back to eat some Thanksgiving turkey in my room' she thought to herself. She turned off the light, opened the door and then closed it.



Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
