the two suitors of Zoie Malone page 1 by ric gustafson
David Marks swallowed the last of his buttered wheat toast as he watched the morning weatherman talk about the forecast.
" The high today is only going to be 2 degrees". 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. ' I'm just not a morning person' came the thought as he remembered the commercial where people were dancing around because it was morning.
He yawned again as the toast popped up. He buttered it and then glanced at the clock that was built into the stove. " Wow, look at the time" he exclaimed out loud as it read 5:50. " I need to leave".
He turned off the coffeemaker and poured out the remains of his cup into the kitchen sink. He walked into the bathroom and brushed his teeth. He put on his heavy coat and then picked up the remote.
" Stay warm and have a great Monday" the young forecaster said.
David turned off the TV and then quickly left the apartment. He did not want to miss his bus.
Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
