Surrender

Daily writing prompt
How are you feeling right now?

I have been staying in a hotel because raw sewage backed up into my apartment through the toilet and bathtub. The hotel is clean and beautiful. I go home to my hopefully fixed apartment later today, so I’m feeling complete surrender. Either the bathroom will be usable or it won’t. I just have to go home and look.

I do not want to go home and look.


I’m at home now and it’s the disaster I was expecting. Dehumidifiers are everywhere and the laundry is still soaked. I have a lot of work to do, but I may put it off until tomorrow and go stay in a hotel again. The dehumidifiers take up most of the room in my apartment and are very noisy. The good news is that whether I go to a hotel or not, my bathroom is usable again. That’s the real film at 11:00.

Everything I touch feels wet, so I’m trying not to touch anything.
