One Mad Night

Chelsea is driven, determined, and ready for bigger and better success in her future. The advertising company that Chelsea works at has promised her the account- actually told her “it was hers to lose” and then came up with the idea to have a competition between her and a new (but highly sought after employee) Ian Rafferty.

Chelsea is pretty confident she has this in the bag. Her approach is smart and right on- but she does a feel a nervous tingle about Ian’s chances at landing this account. He’s a man, he’s landed some plum accounts that she has desired, and the advertising world is a man’s world.

Because of the undercurrent of competition between Ian and Chelsea, Chelsea has never really taken much time to think about Ian- besides what she knows from seeing him: he likes women (a lot) and he’s nice looking. She knows from going up against him for previous pitches that he’s smart and has good ideas. But, Chelsea wants this- and feels after 6 years- it’s time to move up the ladder. Continue reading

One Step Too Far

One day, a normal day- and young woman named Emily gets up, leaves her house, gets on a train and never returns.

But.. Emily rose above all that. She found her happily ever after, her own family, her own life… and she chose to walk away. Why?  Continue reading
