RE: STACH Short Story Contest #14: 199 words, 15SBD prize pool!

As she walked along the path in order to avoid the busy Aba Road and its loud environment, her thoughts were cast back to the moment when she and her classmates -Agnes, Monica and Buchi ,were having drinks in Galaxy Bar. That glorious night before today when she had completed all 'assignments ' given by the Dean of her faculty, feeling like the super lioness as called by her course mates.
Edith was just a pretty young girl who though from a modest and humble family was certainly the black sheep in the family. She loved the flashy aspect of life and instead chose to live the 'fast ' life. She was 'doing well' as her colleagues would always compliment her, but the last few hours of life have certainly shown her that the popular saying that all which glitters is certainly not gold.
Walking back from what was supposed to be her graduation ceremony and the news that the Dean of her faculty was on suspension really broke her heart. Did karma really play a fast one on her?, was she just the unlucky one?, or the perfect analogy of the uncertainty of LIFE AS WE KNOW IT?
