the two suitors of Zoie Malone page 1 by ric gustafson.
David Marks swallowed the last of his buttered toast as he watched the morning weatherman talk about the forecast.
" The high today is only going to be 2 degrees" he said as he pointed at the screen. " So dress warmly as you go out the door".
He walked quietly into the small kitchenette and poured himself another cup of coffee. ' I wish I was more of a morning person' he thought as he put one more slice of Rotella Wheat into the small black toaster. As he waited he yawned again. ' I'm just not a morning person' came the thought as he remembered the commercial where people were dancing around because it was the morning.
He yawned again as the toast popped up. He buttered it as he looked at the clock that was built into the stove. " Wow, look at the time" he exclaimed out loud as he noticed it read 5:50. " I need to leave".
He swallowed his toast, turned off the coffeemaker and poured out the remains of his cup into the sink. He put on his good shoes, walked into the bathroom and brushed his teeth. He put on his heavy winter coat and then picked up the remote.
" Stay warm and have a great Monday" the young forecaster said.
David turned the TV off and then quickly left the apartment.
He did not want to miss his bus.
Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric.
