Making a Change
After living alone for a decade she determined to make a change. Maybe even leave Chicago. But first she would have another cup of coffee.
Of course, wasn’t that her usual excuse – another cup of coffee, the floor needed to be washed, etc. – until the day was over, the coffee pot was empty, or, more likely, until the feeling passed. She was no stranger to ennui.
Pubs in Dublin
There once was an old man who lived on Pucker Lane. Everyday, he would walk down the lane to sit in the cool breeze of the water’s mist coming off the rocky shore.
As the sun went down, he decided to go to the nearest bar, but upon finding the bar closed, he ventured onward. The next closest bar was his least favorite, but as he was in desperate need of a drink, he proceeded. The pubs in Dublin are often controlled by different groups of the mafia and people hardly ever risked showing bad faith by disrespecting their neighborhood’s gang. William simply could not be bothered today. As he slowly made his way down the barren dirt roads towards Creek’s bar, William lamented on his awful day.
As soon as he entered the bar, the bartender stopped him – “one shot and you are gone. You should have known better than to come here, Bill.”
