Being the new girl in town was never easy. All right, granted she wasn't exactly new. But she did feel like a fish out of water. She'd spent so long locked away feeling sorry for herself that she had nearly forgotten what it was like to be out in the real world.
And how rude everyone could be.
If they did see her, Mary got semi-assaulted by former fans of her show. It was no wonder she'd receded from society. But, she was broke and needed to get out there again. All her savings had gone to holing up for as long as she possibly could. Now she had to find a job and get used to the outside world again.
A trip to a coffee shop for a tea seemed in order. At least she could feign, like so many writers who frequented the place, work.
"Excuse me?" Mary said, trying to be heard over the clink of cups and woosh of espresso machines. It would help if she could be seen over the counter. At 3 foot, Mary stood just as tall as your average 4 year old. Better dressed, though. Her heels added at least a few added inches.
She waved a hand above the counter. "Aren't these things supposed to be built to be handicapable?" This sure didn't feel handicapable to her.
