The Fall of Madelyn Beckett - Chapter 1
Disclaimer: This story contains themes of weight gain. It is not meant to be realistic and should not be interpreted as such. This is not a slow-burn narrative. If this is not your cup of tea, I would advise you to just not read the story, alright?
It wasn’t with much enthusiasm that Madelyn Beckett found herself driving into the very suburb she had sworn at eighteen, never to lay eyes on again.
But after a boring college degree, a string of soul-sucking jobs, and two misogynistic bosses who made her seriously consider arson, here she was.
Coming home.
To Madelyn, it felt like a slap in the face. All that effort: the late nights, the endless assignments, the constant pretend reduced to absolutely nothing. Ashes. Failure. A depressing little résumé of disappointment. And the cruelest irony of all? The strong, independent, and mature woman she thought herself to be was now moving back in with her mother.
So much for character development
Best to say it plainly: her hard work
