Marta that morning thought she had to make a decision in her life, she had no more options to continue living in that dark and empty house, even though she lived with Marcos, her husband, who was always sitting on the couch watching video games or horror movies. None of that pleased Marta, she was the only one who supported the needs of her home, working as a saleswoman in an old drugstore. Many times she worked night shifts just to avoid going home to see her unhappy husband. Marta was already 37 years old and still had not been able to get pregnant, she considered her marriage a real failure, it was a real chaos. The last job her husband had gotten was fired for falling asleep in the warehouse where he packed fruit cookies, and for more than two years he has not been interested in looking for another job.
I simply can't take it anymore! Martas exclaimed as she left the house, Marcos was surprised, but not so much by Martas' attitude, since he knew that she always did that, and in the end she would arrive at night with food to keep on enlarging her belly.
That morning Martas went to a coffee shop and asked for the strongest coffee she usually drank, she added a spoonful of sugar and while she drank the coffee she thought that the situation with Marcos would not continue and the best way out was to leave him alone, maybe for a while or maybe forever, she loved him but it was no longer possible to tolerate him, it took her a few minutes to make a decision.
She went to the train station to the main cities, it was very cold, and Marta had no chance to pack, just an old scarf that her grandmother had given her many years ago on Christmas Eve, and her usual backpack.
The train was coming, the vibration could be felt on the floor and Marta's heart was about to burst, she had been married to Marcos for more than 15 years and had never been separated from him, the engine was getting closer and closer and Marta's heart wanted to burst out of her mouth, but she was determined.
She got on board without asking the destination of the train and without looking back, Marta lay down on the seat and fell fast asleep, when she woke up there was the commotion of many people above her trying to get her out, the train was derailed, Marta did not listen to anything of what the people were trying to tell her, she just wanted to go home, her face was bloody and her leg was broken and pressed with iron, there was no way to get Marta out, they were moving her and telling her don't go to sleep, don't go to sleep and Marta was falling back into a deep sleep. Marta, Marta began to listen from far away and Marta opened her eyes looking at the young man who brought her coffee every morning, telling her, Take your cup of coffee, you fell asleep, shall I add a spoonful of sugar, Marta smiles giving thanks to God that it had all been a sad dream.

I congratulate the winner of the previous contest and at the same time I invite @evev and @mercmarg to participate.
