Sample

 

The big cardboard box on the top shelf was getting a little difficult to get down. Andy cursed under his breath as he looked around the cluttered garage for the step-stool. Growing old was hell. He recalled that only a few years ago he would have jumped up there and used his fingertips to move the box far enough off the shelf for it to fall into his hand.

That ended the day the damn motorcycle back brake locked up for no good reason anyone ever found. The contrary piece of shit pulled that crap in soft dirt. And he had been trying to obey the law for a change.

Not finding the frickin short ladder in the garage, he recalled using it in the upstairs bathroom to replace the shower head. Now he would need to drag his raggedy ass up the flipping stairs to get it with his knee already screaming about the rain on the way. The change he felt coming in the weather made his knee throb like a bad tooth.

But there wasn’t a hope in hell; he needed to go get it. If Sugar came home and found what he bought in those two plain brown envelopes, his ass was grass.
