Opening my eyes, I listen to the sirens blaring around the neighborhood. It’s
something you get used to when you live in Brownsville. It’s one of The
Bronx’s poorest and most dangerous areas, but I’ve learned to navigate the
streets.
Sadly, it’s home.
The air is stuffy with the early autumn heat, and it has me kicking the
covers off.
The AC must be broken again.
I have to talk to the building manager about the faulty heating and
broken AC which is a conversation I never look forward to having.
I have to make a plan to buy another blanket, seeing as winter is only a
couple of months away, and having heat in this apartment is never a sure
thing.
I also have to talk to Sylvia about working extra shifts so I can pay the
overdue gas bill.
God. Rent was due last week.
Letting out an exhausted sigh, I drag myself out of bed.
Digging clothes from the drawers of the dresser, I walk to the bathroom
and turn on the faucets in the shower. While brushing my teeth, I pray the
water will warm up, but when I hold my hand beneath the spray, there’s no
luck.
I’ll have to ask Sylvia for an advance, or it’ll be me and cold showers
for the next two weeks.
Taking off my underwear and favorite sleepshirt, I step beneath the cold
spray and shiver as I rush to wash my hair and body. I keep hopping from
one foot to the other as if it will help to warm me up, and the instant I’m
done, I dart out of the icy shower.
I grab a bleached towel and dry myself at the speed of light before
throwing on my jeans and T-shirt.
“Jesus.” I shudder from the cold, and rushing back to my bedroom, I put
on my socks and boots.
When I’m fully dressed, I hurry to the kitchen to see if I have any coffee
left. Not finding any, I open the fridge and take a sip of the last of the
orange juice.
Wanting to avoid Winston, the building manager, until I have the money
for rent, I open the window in the small living room and step out onto the
steel grate to go down the fire escape.
Just as I head down the stairs, my neighbor, Tyrone, opens his window
and pokes his head outside.
“Don’t run off. Your mother is passed out in the hallway.”
I shake my head and continue down the stairs as I answer, “Not my
problem, Tyrone.”
