#FOWC – Muster

FOWC with Fandango — Muster

With thanks to Fandango for his prompt

She wondered if she could manage to muster up the strength any more. All of her life she had spent caring for others and once she had been popular. She had many friends and was well liked. She was lively, outgoing and amusing and could always get people laughing. Many people told her that they loved her. Then suddenly her life changed and she discovered how empty were those words of love. No longer could she go out and mix with people but no one came to her. No one even seemed to remember her. She tried to understand it but could not. She realised that now, she was completely alone in the world and she fell into the abyss. Each night she wondered. Could she muster up anything noow? Had she got any strength left in her? She prayed. She prayed for an end to her loneliness. But each morning there was only darkness. She realised that her life was worth nothing any more. What had it all been for?
