Weekly Contest #359
It was early evening. Not yet dark. A calm, slightly cool evening. Hints of autumn on display in the fading of the vibrant green that had shone from the trees all summer in the bright sunlight. Now, just a bit duller. Dusk was coming sooner, too. Days were getting shorter… She was sitting quietly, as usual. Watching the street from her bedroom window. The window closed now to keep the cooler air out. She noticed a crack in the glass and began to worry that it might start to grow if the wind blew against it. She took a shallow breath and stop...

Jennie looked over at the scale on her bathroom floor. It was over by the trash bin. She noticed a layer of dust now covering the glass top. She knew it was time to dust it off and face the number. She was already beating herself up for the number she knew would be reflected, she only hoped it wouldn’t be higher. Jennie could usually determine her weight by the way her clothes fit, especially how t-shirts hugged her belly differently, or how her jeans felt tighter on her thighs even though the stretch denim allowed for breathability.
