What I Did to Get By

My girlfriend has been out of town the past five days. She returns tomorrow.

While she’s been away, I left the sliding glass doors to our bedroom open and an eagle, mountain lion, ant, vulture, moose, 6 starlings, and a slug came in and have been staying with me.

The critters have torn up all the bedding and furniture. They’ve made a mess on the floor. They’ve shed everywhere. I don’t want to get upset at them though because they’ve been great company and have kept me from feeling lonely.
