Please, i welcome all constructive criticism
No matter how many times she sits in that chair, it never gets any easier. The sound of fast typing and the same patronising chit chat every fortnight. she could see the condescending way that all the workers looked at her, almost as if she was the scum of the earth, nothing but a leech on society.
- How am I supposed to bring up two kids on that? Sarah argued with a particularly condescending woman.
- miss Newham, the government have slashed child benefits. there is nothing I can do. It’s the same for everybody in your position, the woman replied looking stone faced.
- I barely have enough to keep clothes on my children’s backs as it is. Isn’t there anything you can do to help me out, unless you want two young kids to starve to death on your conscience?
- please ma’am, it has nothing to do with me. I don’t make the rules, I just enforce them. If you would like to make a complaint about the benefit cuts, then write a letter to the prime minister.
With those last words ringing in her ears, Sarah got up and made her way out the job centre, pushing the buggy with one hand and holding her little daughters arm with the other. The afternoon air was typically breezy in Soho, West London. Sarah rummaged through her handbag, looking for a debit card to draw out some money at the nearest cash point. The money she received from child and housing benefit may not have been enough to dine out anywhere fancy, but it was usually enough to put food in her children’s stomachs. she slipped her card into the train station cash machine and punched in the pin number. there was a frustrated sigh when the screen showed her balance at forty five pound and sixty two pence.
- Well, looks like we will have to tighten our belts until the money next goes in on Friday, Sarah said with an anxious smile to her little girl.
Can i get some opinions on my novella, short story (FIRST PARAGRAPHS)?
