Overwhelmed

Fio's heart sank when she came home to notice the red light beeping on her phone--something else she had to attend to in addition to the laundry, the dog's wound, the collapsing attic insulation, the busted mailbox, the out-of-order vacuum cleaner, the message from Brother regarding the inheritance taxes Pennsylvania is demanding of Father, the contest entries she agreed to judge, and the final rewrite of her latest romance.

Fio has often speculated that all the electronic beeps are triangulating so they can zot her with the death beam.

And right now it would be a relief.

P.S. The phone just went out.
