Challenge/Prompt: comicdrabbles - #109: "night shift"





Shellie applies a little more makeup to the latest bruise Jack gave her.

„Come on, Baby, I’m sorry. Come back to bed so I can make it up to you.“

Shellie’s lip trembles but she forces a smile. „It’s alright, but I really can’t. Night shift at the bar,“ she says apologetically, doesn’t dare to look at him now.

Jack groans. „That stupid job is really getting on my nerves. Call and say you’re ill!“

I surely won’t do that.

„You know I need the money.“ And the escape from you.
She takes a last look at the mirror, takes her purse and throws the man in her bed a kiss.
„Please shut the door when you leave. See ya later!“
