#8sunday 6 March, 2016 A dish best served cold – final
Greetings, Weekend Writing Warriors! These are the last sentences in my contemporary short story about a woman who chooses to even the score.
Marian undergoes a secret, 8 month long physical transformation in preparation for one event – one night: the Advertising Industry Annual Awards Event where the well-heeled and well-connected rubbed shoulders with the business-rich and ad-world-famous. As runner up to the Winning Ad Campaign, in a move which causes some surprise, she arranges to introduce the Winner (Andrea Williams), on stage, in front of everyone who is anyone in the Industry. Unrecognisably sexy and polished she meets her arch-nemesis on stage Todd Eccleston – her boss, and the architect of her misery, who is suitably taken with her transformation.

Unrecognisably sexy and polished she meets her arch-nemesis on stage Todd Eccleston – her boss, and the architect of her misery.
Delighted with his surprise and burgeoning ‘interest’, she continues, solo, with her speech… (I have left some out – see the link below – to alleviate boredom, and the agony of anticipation :-})
