Headache
I’m having trouble concentrating and so I close my novel with a thump. Then I curse, having had a headache for several days that I can’t get rid of. On the coffee table there are piles of bills that I haven’t paid in months. Hence the headache.
My dog Charlie cuddles beside me and rolls over for a stomach rub. Sadly, he’s my only true friend.
“Hey, boy, thanks for always being around.”
I get up to take two aspirins when the phone rings. What I hear on the other end worsens the migraine.
I’ve been evicted from my apartment.
