Two Women Same Ailment

Shirley is in constant pain, but she does not take it out on anyone. Only her closest friends know – the two closest friends. She does not burden others with her ailment. She is pleasant throughout the day, ignoring her pain. She does not take pain pills because they knock her out. She has a full-time job that she loves, so she keeps going. Her co-workers would be startled to learn of her pain. Her boss also has no idea. Marvel is in constant pain. She is grouchy and mean. To her family, her neighbors and people in the grocery store. She snaps, complains and grouses most of her day. She wants others to be as miserable as she is. She cannot keep a job because of her choices. She chooses to be nasty and mean. She can be cruel. She has no boss, and no friends. Two women with the same ailment. Handling it in their own unique way.
