late last night, in my room. the lights were out, thick darkness surrounds.
i lay in bed, restlessly crinkling the black tafetta bedspread, trying to fall asleep.
the phone rang. i jerked. it startled me. i reached over to pick up the receiver.
"hello?"
a pause. phlegm rattled in the guy's throat, "uh yeah, the delivery has arrived. you gotta pick it up immediately. hue's point."
dial tone. i sat up straight. mutter mutter. i threw off the blankets. whoosh. they thumped to the floor.
threw my legs over the side of the bed. knew i had to get to the delivery ASAP.
grabbed a bag. out the door. on my way.
