"Should I do it?"
"What if I am found out?"

The struggle raged on in Wendy's head. It had all been too much for her. She had lost her job just the month before. Now she was struggling to keep the strands of life together. There was no food in the refrigerator, bills were piling up, there were too many empty wine bottles and worst of all, her friends no longer called her.

"What can I do," she asked herself. "There's just no other way than this."

Sitting on the kitchen floor in front of the oven, she struggled with her decision, could she go through with it she thought.

"To hell with it." she thought, the snow is deep on the ground, my apartment is freezing.

"I'll turn the electric oven on for heat...to hell with the bills."
