He woke with a rather urgent issue. He wasn’t ready for the solution.
Jerry needs a distraction from his Wendsday morning. It’s troubled. Not by the empty bowls that still remind him of his late cat, Pipsqueak. Nor the kitchen, that could desperately use a ten-thousand-dollar makeover. And last, not by the lottery ticket sitting in his chipped porcelain catchall.
Nope. Jerry’s immediate issue is a considerably troubling personal plumbing problem.
Then he checks the previous evening’s winning lottery numbers...
A warm, profane, and perfectly timed comic story about grief, hope, and the hazards of getting exactly what you wished for at a most inopportune moment.
Genre: General Fiction
