She read the letter stuck to her door, “Please take further notice that within
fourteen (14) days after service of this notice, you are hereby required to
pay the above-listed amount in full or quit the subject premises.” The letter,
of course, droned on from there, but she didn’t need to read the damned thing
any further. It was an eviction letter, and she didn’t have a way to fight it.
Sadly, now she had a choice: spend her last two grand on her shoebox rental
studio, or eat.
She opened her door, placed her handbag, keys, and eviction letter on the
console table, and looked up in the mirror. Her eyes appeared to be sunken in,
and the bags around her eyes had bags, too. Sure, she was Italian, and the
dark circles were hereditary, but the bags weren’t—not even for a vampire,
but the stress she was under made her look less than her best. However, that
was fine because they offset the double chin, which seemed to form the
minute she hit 30. At least now she could lose the proverbial “Freshman 15”
she never seemed to get rid of throughout college. Not eating would do that
to a person. Of course, then she’d have an additional problem—loose-fitting
jeans. Who needs anything to wear but sweatpants—right?
“Might as well pay the rent because salad is on sale.” She said to herself
with a sigh.
She had about $40 left from her 401K; the negligible amount would
suffice for a few cans of vegetable soup or even a little tempeh. Not that she
was planning on going vegetarian—or worse—vegan. But at least her food
would be substantially less without the high price of meat tacked onto the
bill. But seriously? Who besides celebs and models leaves meat out of their
diet because bacon—you know?
She decided she’d go to the store tomorrow after her job interview. This
interview will be her last hope of landing a job before the heat and electricity
bills become due. She didn’t think finding a job would have been this hard.
She lived and breathed what she did for a living, and no one did the job like
her. All her paying clients loved her flair for home interior design. But her
ex-husband made sure she became blackballed by all the other designers
looking for assistants.
Sure, she might find some sympathetic human to work for as a personal
assistant. Still, after reading her resume and seeing she was part owner of a
successful design firm, they placed said resume into the proverbial slush pile.
She’d be highly overqualified, and no one would ever hire her for a starting
position this late in her life. Plus, the pay cut would be drastic.
