The Commuter
Velma's singing voice had been the talk of five counties out in Ohio, but since arriving in the city, she hadn't gotten a single callback, no matter how many auditions she went to. For the moment, she's put her musichall dreams on the back burner & she has a pretty good job in the typing pool at a 5th avenue ad company. She can't afford an apartment anywhere nearby, which might not SOUND like such a big deal in a city with such great public transit, but she can't fit through the subway gates. She says she enjoys the five mile walk & that the air does her good & the exercise reminds her body of her youth working on the farm. She still goes to at least one audition per week & I have high hopes for her, regardless of whether she ever gets to be the star she dreamed of as a little hatchling. She's good at landing on her feet, & all her eyes are looking at the future.
