Hi there! Have you been having a good weekend so far? I hope so. Mine is filled with homework and other fun stuff, but yes, I now have internet!!!! Who knew it would take two months to get connected in this day and age?
A redeeming quality for Lud, despite his usual funk. 🙂 Deacon is in the first person.

If it wasn’t for the fact that I needed a roommate to help pay the bills, I would have kicked him [Lud] out years ago. Yes, years. I had been desperate—and now I just didn’t have the heart to do it. I was used to his ways, sad as that sounded. Though, aside from Lud’s ghastly habits, he had never been late on rent. He always paid his share of utilities and groceries, and chipped in with emergencies, like the time the power went out for days in our suburb because of a really bad ice storm, and he bought a generator to tide us over. He wouldn’t let me pay for any of that, and had been unlike his usually careless, pain-in-the-ass self.
He’d been a whole other person.

Ah a new side to Lud. Wonderful
He has a redeeming quality or two. 😉
Someone who does his/ her share is the solid devil you know… at least you get something positive out of it. I like this.
Thank you! 🙂
That last line throws a very different light on the story. Wonder what’s behind all that…?
Wait and see! 🙂
Somebody who needs to be needed? Intriguing! 🙂
Indeed. 🙂
Interesting how in noticing Lud has changed, it feels like he’s changing, too.
Yes! That’s exactly right. 🙂
This story is really intriguing me. I’ve got it added to my cart at JMS ready for my next round of book buying!
Thank you. 😉
Oh! That last line is very interesting!
Thank you. 😉
Someone who pays rent and utilities on time is definitely a keeper, LOL.
Absolutely! 😀
