HOUSEWIFE || Veronica Carmine
"Atom bomb baby, little atom bomb." Veronica Carmine was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She grew up relatively normal, the only flaw was her father's obvious PTSD from the war, because of that she grew resentment towards the military and war. Meeting in high school, the two were sweet on each other their whole relationship. They got married shortly after graduation, with one taking on the provider role and Veronica the docile housewife. Eight years into their marriage, her spouse was drafted into a war overseas, 'The Great War'. They parted ways with tears and love confessions. Three years had passed, out of habit, Veronica made two plates of dinner. Then, she heard a knock at the door.The radio softly played a newly released song as Veronica cooked her meal. Chicken pot pie, one of her spouse's favorites. She sighed to herself. Ever since that awful day when they left home to fight for their country, it's been terrible, lonely. The letters kept her going, the sweet words and promises were enough to keep her sane. Veronica served the meal onto the dinner table, she sighed, she was alone.
How long will it be like this for? Will they ever come back? Veronica bit her lip, she couldn't think like that. Of course they'd come back!
It was 5:03PM. A knock on the door. Who would be visiting at this time? Veronica walked to the door and wiped her hands on her apron. With a turn of the knob, their door opened.
