whatever can go wrong ...

hey there friends and neighbors. here's a tale about a girl who seems to have been gone for a bit because of things beyond her control. you see, she's been dreaming, nay wishing, about her apartment problem and how 'twas supposed to be fixed by the end of this here week.

of course, the saying goes, whatever can go wrong ... will. cuz just as everything was supposed to be fixed right as rain ... BLAMMO ... that there rug was pulled out beneath her and it looks as though she is back right where she started.

y'all know about her plight ... her apartment was condemned and she was in quite a jam. well, the landlord (who as luck would have it) was only 1/3 owner of her property, his elders were the other 2/3's. well that one 1/3 was having a might of a time trying to get everything done and fixed to her liking under the radar ... that is, he was quite scared of his parents so he was fixin' to do all of the work behind their backs. this included giving the damsel free rent for a while (since he fixed the apartment so that it was up to code) and reimbursement for all her ruined furniture/items. he was also gonna have the apartment exactly how she wanted it - everything all fixed right purty. well that was last week.

this week it seems that that youngin' (well truth be told he is in his 50's) is now in the hospital. we have no more knowledge of what is to come of his agreement with the girl. she is now back in limbo, living with various people and out of a suitcase.

now before you think that the girl has a black heart because she is not worried about the man, hold yer tongue. she is very worried, and not because he holds her immediate home in his hands. in reality she feels somewhat guilty about the whole thing. has the stress of it all caused him to get this sick? does she lay down her grievances and call it quits? she's not sure. she doesn't want anything to happen to the man. but he has been known to tell a few tall tales in the past. like the one about the condemnation of her apartment ... not really true. he was just trying to buy some time to fix up the apartment at his leisure. when she wouldn't go away silently he realized that he needed to make it right. the gal hardly thinks that the man is lying about the sickness, but she hates to think that he has been the boy who called wolf before.

so that's where she's been. here but without the creative bug to get her going to write something she is passionate about. for the most part, that's what she wants to try to convey on this here storypage.

so, keep the fires burning ... she'll come back soon to sit a spell.
