Greyhound for Breakfast
“His eyes opened and blinked as they met the sun rays streaming in through the slight gap between the curtains. ‘Mister Brown?’ called somebody – a girl’s voice.
‘Just a minute.’ He squinted at his wristwatch. 9 o’clock. He walked to the door and opened it, poked his head out from behind it.
‘That’s your breakfast.’ She held out the tray as if for approval. A boiled egg and a plate of toast, a wee pot of tea.
‘Thanks, that’s fine, thanks.’ He took it and shut the door, poured a cup o...f tea immediately and carried it into the bathroom. He was hot and sweaty and needed a shower. He stared at himself in the mirror. He was quite looking forward to the day. Hearing the girl’s accent made it all even more so. After the shower he started on the grub, ate all the toast but left the egg. He finished the pot of tea then shaved. As he prepared to leave he checked his wallet. He would have to get to a bank at some point.MoreLess
