I was lucky Marie was looking out for me and quickly found another place.
We were told it would be the easy credits we both needed to graduate.
The class was a lot of fun.
And when they ended, Mr. Bryant always led a lively discussion.
We decided on a drug deal gone bad and a chase scene that ended in murder.
Marie was a wealth of knowledge, and she treated me like a second son.
When I called her out, she insisted it was a healthy breakfast.
“Her explanation changed the way I felt about pie a la mode for breakfast.
There were plenty of widows and cheap plastic shades covering all of them.
It had electric heat, and Barney paid all utilities.
When I walked in for the first time, I immediately had an allergy attack.
I had to shampoo it before I moved my stuff in.
I rented one and shampooed the two rooms.
That one dropped 21” in 12 hours and had wind gusts of up to 50 MPH.
People thought that would be the memorable snowstorm of ‘78.
There were 99 deaths reported between Massachusetts and Rhode Island, some a result of carbon monoxide poisoning.
All I cared about was my girlfriend.
The school couldn’t receive any food deliveries and was starting to run out of food.
I was trapped in my apartment.
When I entered the mudroom to leave, the storm door was covered with snow and wouldn’t budge.
It took me a while, but by the time I got out, I could only see snow.
My car and Barney’s blue Lesabre were both completely buried.
A 15’ snow drift covered the entrance to the apartment and the roof above it.
There weren’t enough plows, dump trucks, and front-end loaders to wipe the snow.
Add in the wind-blown snow drifts, and almost everything was buried under a blanket of fresh snow.
Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental…
