It Was An Ordinary Day

It started as just an ordinary day for Cheryl. She kissed her boyfriend Adam goodbye as he left for work, she dropped their three kids off at school, and now she was about to bake her friend a belated birthday cake.
But just as she dollops her cake mixture into the tin, Adam walks in through the back door stumbling over the table. His eyes were bloodshot and the stench of alcohol lingered in the air. He slurs his speech before taking a look at Cheryl. His bloodshot eyes fixated on her.
