I climbed the stairs to my apartment where I lived alone. This apartment was provided by a friend of my father and luckily I wasn’t required to pay any rent. This was a great relief since I was jobless and new to the town. The building was on the Riverside and my room was conveniently placed on the very top floor where I could enjoy the setting sun before I would crash in my bed. I laid low and didn’t use electricity much as a survival tactic so as to be able to live there long enough until I can pay.
I put my handbag on my bed getting out of my shorts and sandals. I removed my thigh highs and laid down to catch a breath. I looked at the corner of the room which was a little damp due to water tanker leaking on the top of the building sometimes. I took some deep breaths and gathered the courage to stood up.
