The Day part 5

The afternoon began with a heavy hard rain. And a wind that wreaked havoc with the unfortunate souls who happened to be outside, with unmbrellas. They pulled them out and were furious when their umbrellas turned up. I had always hated that myself.

Well, at least I had the morning to enjoy. I could always just stay home and relax inside. I could watch a movie. I had a nice little collection. There was one movie I wanted to see, that I had been too busy to see. And wouldn't you know, it was about one of my hero friends. It should be interesting to see their account of him.

I smiled ruefully, knowing they weren't about to make a movie about me anytime soon. Oh well, such was life. We didn't always get what we wanted, or needed. I surely knew that. And that lesson been reinforced the hard way  by Annek recently. he cost me so much. At least he was gone now. And wouldn't be a problem anymore.

It was time to sit down and watch the movie. I needed this. And this, I knew I would enjoy. All I needed to do before was to put on the popcorn and get out the pop. Yes, I can imagine what you're thinking. But there's nothing wrong with a little indulgence. This was mine.

I popped the popcorn, poured myself the pop put the movie in the DVD player and sat down to watch the movie when the power went out.

This was not supposed to happen. I had built in safeguards. Even if the entire city went black, I would not lose power. I cursed silently. It was back to work for me. Someone was here, and I knew just what they wanted too. The suit.
