Obsession
CHARACTERS
Speaker Julia as Jay’s ex wife
Jay as Julia’s ex husband
Vanessa as Julia’s best friend
Obsession a word familiar to all, fierce, dangerous, simple but for everyday people it’s a common word having a simple and profound meaning. Every word contains a great power, a control something like a feeling and a strong one.
In this world everyone’s got an obsession with something they love. Some say it to be a passion, a fixation but to me it’s more like a nightmare, a torture, a pain.
I always took it lightly and yet it took me way more painfully. I think people are usually obsessed with food preps, professional cleaning, documentaries, DIY’ing and much more but the most unbelievable thing is that when a person becomes obsessed with one person…… just one person……………………..
