Bedside Manor

Lurking behind the leaky faucet was the stingy, irresponsible, absentee landlord, who (she was told) doubles as a physician when not playing proprietor. His responses to no heat, plumbing troubles, and a resident rat out back varied from; “Gee, never had any of those problems before”, “live with it”, “here’s how to fix it”.

The crisp chlorinated water around me feels so exquisite; my worries escape until my ill-fitting suit pulls me back to the depths of self-consciousness. I come up for air and swim towards the shallow end; my hair looks good, although wet, dark and flat. His arms embrace me… Continue
