The phone tumbled from his cold lifeless hand, his mind seared of all coherent thought as he tried to assess the shocking revelations he’d just been given …… Excuses, he desperately needed excuses, or at least some reason to be as far away as possible this coming weekend but he’d promised hadn’t he?
And that promise was now coming back to haunt and taunt him! A foolish promise, made to placate and ease his hardship and guilt now required redeeming, time to pay the piper it seems, and the Mother in law, well, she’d be going home on the Monday.
Once again, I Thangyu  |
Victory!
Monday. Two more days. Forty eight hours. But not just any forty eight, they were his weekend. He worked hard for this pause in his round of crawling through morning traffic on the 401. ... drinking bitter mud from the coffee machine ... putting up with his asshole of a boss ... His mother-in-law was speaking, her voice like fingernails on a blackboard. "And the cats," she squealed, "four is too many." "Can't you find homes for a couple."
"They have a home." he replied calmly, "They live here. You don't."
A victory. One he would pay dearly for, but still a victory.
My god ... we are getting to be a creative bunch
