glasses off to see if life got any better on the outside, but
as she did she looked even worse. It looked like her drinking
habits had gotten worse.

MARY rushed out of the kitchen to find she had even more
overdue bills stacked up, and was close to being evicted.

in her room, but it was a total mess.

She is panicked, as she went back to check her papers from

the first unpaid bill. She notices it was weeks back, and
that these glasses had been tricking her for weeks on end.

puts them back on to relieve herself. As she does THE BOY

Are you real..?
