Bio of a Stranger



Dear Diary,
Today’s no different than any other. My job swallows my whole life up. I have no time for myself. Especially working for the CIA, no one can even know who I am. It’s awful! I can never just go shopping in this beautiful city I live in and enjoy it. New York City has so many shops that I would love to go to, but considering my profession, I have to keep a low profile. We’re working on a really big case, involving the President and it’s really a lot of work. I can’t say much, but I am exhausted. They have given me a fake name that I must go by, Gurtrude Windspear. I don’t enjoy this name because my original name is so wonderful, Elizabeth James. Being a part of the CIA is almost like living two lives. I live as two people in one body and they both want it thier way. Elizabeth wants to go shopping and go to time square and go by her real name and be free. While Gurtrude wants to be in on all the action and not miss a beat. I don’t know what to do. I have given up on love as well. I adore Jeremy from work but he doesn’t seem to know I exist. He’s too busy trying to suck up to the boss to get that big promotion. Oh well, maybe one day he will see how he puts that glow in my eyes when he walks in the room. I haven’t any time to try to meet someone else. All my time, as you know is dedicated to my career. Hopefully one day I can live a normal life like the rest of these people around me. Thank you for listening diary. I shall write soon.
Sincerely,  Elizabeth.
