But it was a job



For the Weekend challenge....

For this weekend's challenge, we'd like you to read the 33 words below and then add 33 of your own words to move the story along.  Have a great weekend and good luck!


The last strains of sunlight lingered in the corners, grasping every available point of refraction.  She slid her fingertips along the glass wondering if this was all there ever was. Or could be.

As she picked up the ragg and the Windex,
 she thought  " I just did this yesterday"
Her feet hurt. Her arms hurt. Her fingers hurt.  But it was a job. That was something.

    Starts out where she's grinding away at a dead end job, but somehow, you wind up with a, sort of, upbeat ending. Nicely done.

    What I liked in this short paragraph: I can feel the character's determination.
