Deterioration

It was just unbelievable, so many things were breaking over such a short period of time.

It started the night before, when they came in. First the knob came off the back door when they tried to open it, then the handle broke in the bathroom when they went to flush the toilet, and this was followed by the globe going on the bedside lamp. Now, in the morning, sitting on the edge of the bed pulling his socks on, he was jarred to one side and nearly ended up on the floor when the whole thing drop sideways with a crack.

He came down mumbling, “Rotten leg came off, didn’t it!

She looked up from unwrapping food, “What leg?”

“One of the legs gave way on the bed; could be worse, I suppose.”

She shrugged.

He went on, “When we came in last night, I had a feeling about it.”

“You did?”

“I was right, wasn’t I? Things breaking. Now, the bed. Could be worse.”

She went looking for plates. Not having much luck, she sighed and gave a grunt of disapproval.

He sat at the counter, saying, “Never mind, it could be worse.”

Now, she was struggling, trying to open one of the drawers. She called out, “Can you fix this? I need cutlery.”

He went over and yanked at it. The front section came off in is hand, with the drawer still jammed in place. He managed to slide his hand in and bring out what she wanted.

She shook her head in annoyance.

“I know,” he said, ‘but, it could be worse.”

“You keep saying that. How could it be worse?”

“Well, think about it. What if we weren’t squatters? What if we lived here?”

  1. obviously like your web site however you have to check the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it very bothersome to inform the reality on the other hand I’ll certainly come back again.

  2. Those are yours alright! . We at least need to get these people stealing images to start blogging! They probably just did a image search and grabbed them. They look good though!

  3. I am not sure the place you are getting your info, but good topic. I must spend a while learning more or understanding more. Thanks for excellent info I was in search of this info for my mission.

  4. Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an incredibly long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Regardless, just wanted to say excellent blog!

  5. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?
