Karen was excited about attending her high-school's 10 years reunion. She has become a successful business woman. She was pretty sure no one would recognize her. From a chubby girl with braces and thick eyeglasses she has turned into a beautiful and regal swan. Slim, tan and magnificently stylish.
On the night of the event she was standing in front of the mirror for a long time, examining herself, admiringly. She was wearing a figure-hugging Channel dress and a matching 8 inches Manolos. She looked stunning in black and the flashy diamond necklace, dangling and shining on her sculptured collar-bone, has finished off the look. She looked stunning and successful. She looked fabulous.
When Karen entered the conference hall all the eyes turned and all the jaws opened. Just like she had imagined. She has succeeded yet again. But was she really that successful? Living alone in her 5th Avenue mansion, wearing designer clothes and an exotic tan while most of her high-school friends had a life companion and a relaxed expression on their faces.
The reunion had snapped her out of the plastic world she is living in and into reality and she didn't particularly like what she saw.
