Judgment Day
“I am married to a man who is sweeping all before him in the electronics industry and I have no friends. I live in a big expensive house that would be the envy of many. I am a crack cook. My husband's success is such that it keeps him from home five and a half days out of seven and ten hours out of twenty-four. I am well educated, considered good-looking, an experienced driver and I have no friends. I don't have a lover either.Downstairs, the house rocked to the din of sibling warfare.

I can read Anglo-Saxon, speak French, respond to metaphysical poetry and I have no friends. I have no friends because all the people I used to know live somewhere else and I am somewhat off-putting in manner. I off-put by speaking sharply and smiling too expansively. When I am getting bored I show my teeth. I've seen, in mirrors. I grin and grin and there are my teeth, large and looking more yellow than they really are.Downstairs, a television exploded into sound.I have a happy marriage and a father who is a big wheel at the Treasury.MoreLess
