Lyca Is Ignored

Lyca visits a store and sees Adam - a man lost from her past.  He had gone on vacation and disappeared and had not called her any more.  Lyca bites on her nail as she eyes him - he seems to be alone and so she wanders over and taps his shoulder.

"Hi!" cheers Lyca.

"Hi;" tells Adam with a smile no matter how crisp his words.

"How are you?" asks Lyca.

"Fine;" tells Adam with grim face.  "Leave me alone please;" he adds before he stiffly walks away.


Lyca is confused and walks from the store confused.  She makes it to her car but then she sighs.  She has no idea why Adam does not like her and so she phones Anne.

"Anna I met Adam today and he does not like me;"  she says.  "I have no idea why;"

"If he hasn't contacted you in years then maybe he just doesn't want to know you;" tells Anne with a smile.

"But why?"  asks Lycas as she feels a pinch inside of her head.  "What have I done?"  she asks.

"He wants to move on;" tells Anne. 

"Well he could talk to me about it;" tells Lyca with a sigh.  "I mean, why not?"  she asks.

"He doesn't want to know you;"  says Anne. "Leave him alone;"


Lyca hangs up the phone and sighs.  She wants to steam and she wants to cry.  However she keeps her thoughts together as she dreams about taking a walk to find Adam.  However her conscience kicks her in the gut and Lyca resigns herself to a sigh.

"I suppose I will never figure the world out;" she mutters before she starts the car and leaves.

Lyca Loses Her Job

Lyca bites on her nails -  she has lost her job and so she frets.  She wants to move, but she wants to scream, and so she stands still.

"Why has the world stabbed me in the back?"  she mutters.

With a resigned sigh Lyca picks up the telephone and dials her sistrs number.

"Hey there Anne;"  mutters Lyca with a shrug.

"Hey there!"  cheers Anne as she smiles.  "What has brought you to my phone number today?"  she asks.

"I lost my job;"  tells Lyca as she shrugs;  "Can I board with you?"

"Sure!"  cheers Anne as she smiles.


Lyca stops outside of her sisters house and she signs.  She wishes she were not desperate enough to ask for a hand-out  but she is!  Lyca picks up her bag and walks to the front door, she knocks, Anne opens the door.

"Here there!"  cheers Lyca.

"Come in!"  cheers Anne;

The house is cool and Lyca cheers up immediately.

"Your house has always been so nice!"  she exclaims.

"Oh yes;"  tells Anne before she ushers her sister to the bedroom.

Lyca places her belongings into the bedroom and then exits to move to the kitchen.  Together her and Anne share a cup of tea.

"It is so strange you not having a job;"  tells Anne with a smile.  "What happened?"

"My performance was too low;"  tells Lyca as she shrugs; "I thought I was doing well, but obviously not!"  she exclaims.

"Obviously!"  cheers Anne with a smile.  "It is a drag when things don't work out;"  she adds.  "But I am here;"

"Thankyou;"  tells Lyca as she grins.  "I am glad you are my sister;"  she adds before she relaxes with her cup of tea;
