Maral liked All Hallow's Eve, and the Halloween parties that came with it. It was her one chance to forget who she was, get away from her mundane life, and be someone else for a change. She had been very elaborate in her choosing and assembling her halloween costume. A Midnight Angel is what she called it. And she looked stunning in it.
The costume, with it's ebon black wings, and clinging coal black dress, even accented with long black gloves, was striking on her. Her flawless pale skin, and dark eyes, and long wild mane the color of the same midnight her costume was. She looked every inch that gothic midnight Angel she was going for. So different from her plain, and so very boring life of a bank teller.
Well, at least she moved out of that pit of an apartment she had been living in. She loved her new apartment , and the fact that it was in one of her favorite buidlings in New York City, The Dakota , made working at the bank worth it. Even if she had to deal with her leering manager and the moronic customers every day.
She didn't want to think about work anymore. It was Friday night, she had a party to go to.
Well, the party did not go so well. Her one friend at work, Aleesha, had thrown the party, but unfortunately, Aleesha had invited that same leering bank manager. Herman was his name, but Maral had taken to calling him, Hormel, because he was a plain and dull as canned ham. Just that thought always made her giggle. Herman had shown up dressed up as the Incredible Hulk. He looked ridiculous with his green painted skin and bright green shorts. He had no shirt on, which was just disgusting in and of itself. As soon as he saw Maral, he was all over her. She spent the night fighting him off.
It was times like these she wished she had a boyfriend.
Truth be told, Maral never had a boyfriend. Guys were certainly attracted to her, but she refused to go any further than a kiss after a date, and in this modern day and age, men just expected so much more. She was an innocent flower set amongst a thicket of thorns. Even Aleesha teased her about it, once she had a few drinks in her.
Maral wanted romance, to be seduced, to be courted. And, if one delved deeper, Maral wanted to be the damsal in distress, at the mercy of the wicked one, and rescued by her true love. She had read way to many fantasy and romance novels in her teenage years, that's for sure.
She had such high hopes for tonight's party, and it turned out to be a disappointment.
She went home before the clock even struck midnight, feeling very alone.
Once there she stripped off her costume, feeling a bit sad that no one had said anything about it, or complimented her on it. Did she even have any real friends? Or was she fooling herself into thinking they were friends??
She took a quick shower, and then slipping into one of her long black tees that she always slept in, climbed into bed, turning out the light and plunging the room into darkness. Closing her eyes, she wished for sleep.
