This Day

by Tiah Beautement

Loss has left Ella Spinner alone to care for her husband, Bart, who suffers from clinical depression. Their days now echo the tides: any progress made, rolls back. Yet Ella keeps pushing against the monotony. Set in Mossel Bay, Ella's day begins like any other. But on this day the minutes begin to crack allowing change to filter through. As we cheer on her tenacity, we're left asking ourselves what motivates anyone to try again.
