SHORT STORY

Alice always has to be on time. If she's late, there are consequences. She can't even think about what would happen. What her boss would do if she was late. What her boyfriends family would think of her if she was late.
What her parents would say to her if she was late.

Late. Late. Late. It rang in her head as she cried. And for once, she regretted not being late.
