Ten.One Thousand, Six Hundred & Sixty-Six

1. I needed these extra hours.

2. I hear him starting a fire. He must have forgotten that she’s not coming today.

3. How much cleaning can I squeeze in before we need to go?

4. There is more to do than I remembered.

5. Easy meeting.

6. I decide to skip cleaning the bathrooms. I just. I just don’t feel like it. And I don’t think anyone will die.

7. I want to run out onto the floor and take over, but I know this is not my rodeo.

8. I do want to help.

9. I lay on the floor in the light. I am tired. So very tired.

10. Man. I just want to be like her when I grow up.
