Book Excerpt:
Standing in the lunchtime queue at the bank wasn’t what I wanted to be doing but it was preferable to listening to mom’s accusations. That was way up there with burning in hell. Images of my comfortable bed and my quiet house danced through my weary mind. Glancing furtively at my watch, I attempted to stifle another impatient sigh; the result of twenty mind-numbing minutes. The sigh became a yawn.
Why they don’t have a fast deposit box like every other damn bank? Why do I have to wait for a teller? What in hells name did I do that was so bad? This is punishment for something serious.
Sometimes I’m a bit slow. I huffed internally at myself. Upsetting mother carries a price, and this is my penance.
I wasn’t alone in my misery there were many faces around me sharing my restless annoyance. I yawned again and watched with silent amusement as my yawn spread through the bank.
