TAKING CHANCES

WRITER'S POV

It had been over an hour since Karen confirmed she had been called and she had missed the interview. But she couldn't bring herself to leave the interviewing surroundings.

What was the essence of leaving? Where was she going to go?

Lost in her own thoughts, staring at things but seeing nothing, people walked in and out of the interviewing room.

One after the other, people got interviewed. The place got emptier by the minutes. The woman calling out names came out each time announcing a new person to get ready to be interviewed next.

Karen wished for a moment that the woman would change her mind and let her be interviewed. But the woman never said a word to her the entire time. It was as if she never saw her.

Deep into the afternoon and it was now remaining just a woman waiting to be interviewed.

Tiffany sat up and scanned around. How could she just go? She looked at herself. She hadn't even been able to get some quality sleep the past nights. All for this interview.
