Margaret the Ordinary Part One
The fictional story of an ordinary woman
Introduction
This is the story of Margaret.
She is an average Jane Doe, 37 years-old, married, with one young son. She works as a clinic assistant at a family clinic.
There is nothing remarkable about Margaret.
In her spare time, Margaret binges on Korean romantic drama. A part of her fantasises about being whisked away by some charming Korean gentleman.
No, her marriage is not abusive and she does not need rescuing per se.
I take that back, I was being mean. Perhaps she does need rescuing — from downright boredom and monotony.
She is no doubt ashamed of this immoral and dreamy part of herself. She keeps it well hidden from her consciousness and proudly wears the persona of a responsible, faithful wife and loving mother.
Moving forward — Margaret is growing older, and she knows it.
Every morning she wakes up, looks at the mirror and observes how many new lines she has acquired.
