Cake 03 [contemporary fiction]
Title: Cake
Author: Harper Kingsley
Genre: contemporary fiction
Character: Dahlia Quinzant
During her break at work, Dahl wrote out a plan in her small memo book. She ignored the looks she received from other people moving in and out of the break room and focused on her task, her pink and white pill pen clenched in her hand.
Dahl felt good about the plan taking shape in front of her. She didn’t try to get creative and she kept things to what she could reasonably accomplish. She didn’t want to be like Sharon and her failed cabbage soup diet–she’d lost fifteen pounds, but gained back twenty, and that had been the end of that.
