Unfulfilled

Martha Rigby, a spinster of thirty-five, a non-de-script, somewhat timid creature, not in the least venturesome but a good-living Christian woman who up till now had had very little excitement in her life. She was the youngest of three, having a sister Ruth two years older and a brother, Aaron four years older (now deceased). Their father had been a vicar who brought his family up to be God-fearing Christians. Martha's spinsterhood was about to end as she was soon to be married to Jim, who was some years her senior . . . except that events did not work out as they'd both planned! And from the timid person Martha had always been she found herself doing things she'd never have thought herself capable of! Dark, ungodly things, far removed from her strict upbringing. It was fortunate indeed for Martha that her parents were no longer alive to witness what their daughter had become! Though according to Martha everything she had done was for the best in her eyes and who are we to judge? You must draw your own conclusions.
