Contentment. That’s what she was feeling. Pure easiness. She didn’t recognise it at first- she braved the onslaught so long that the tension was a part of her manner. Gazing around it was hard to recognise the felicity on the faces surrounding her because she was so used to being faced with fear.
The party was loud and the music got louder as the night wore out. I felt a certain amount of felicity early in the day but as the evening and then night dragged on, I felt less like talking and more like sleeping. “Can we go back yet?” I asked my boyfriend. “He was talking to a young woman, with his hand on her waist, massaging the roll of fat. He looked at me like he didn’t know who I was.
The man was astounded by his felicity in articulating his thoughts as he himself felt. That time he knew, that only this person would be able to help him.
Felicity: state of great happiness. Not a word you hear much these days outside word games. Being in a state of great happiness is not trendy. Maybe that’s why the word has become almost obsolete. Try being in a state like that in public and see what happens. Other people will soon shame and ridicule you back into misery. So it goes in the human world.

Never known a Felicity, it was a strange name to hear in parts such as these. A name sounding so pure and innocent didn’t belong here.
