The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

I called the company I am getting the computer from, and their machine operator said in its robotic voice that it will arrive by the 21st of December. A bit ironic, if you ask me. Anyway, as long as it arrives, I will be happy.

Today both Itsy Bitsy and Omega took naps on my bed this afternoon. It was raining so much, I just felt sorry for the two wet cats. I haven't seen Kunoichi in a day and a half. I am starting to think that maybe she was swept away in the swollen creek. ...

This morning Dad, my brother, and I went to town to spend my money. First, I gave Dad my half of the water bill, then I bought cell phone minutes at the store. I also bought two pairs of shoes. ...

It was frigid this morning, so Dad drove me to the office this morning. However, I arrived an hour later than normal, so that put me back an hour on getting finished. I went in the office to get my check. I saw this big number on it. Now, I am getting used to seeing bigger numbers on it, but those numbers were always correct. This time it was $50 too much. I purposefully slowed down my pace folding the papers in order to be there when the owner came. I told her about it, and she said it will ...
