Bad Things
The sound of alerts beeping at me from my comdev are what wake me up on Sunday morning. I check them with sleepy eyes, already knowing that they are telling me I have bills overdue. I sit up and stretch before changing into a pair of black jeans, a black tee shirt, and a red sweater. Grabbing my purse, and a hair tie, I make my way downstairs and slip on my boots. Uncle Lee is the only one awake at this time, and he glances at me as I make my way outside, shutting and locking the door behind me.
I walk out of our housing community, and begin the ten-minute walk to Quick Stop, my favorite convenience store around—mostly because they had things re-stocked quickly, the smaller shop closer to where I lived always was out of items I …show more content…
I continue to browse the contract and then realize that I’ve actually read it in detail when all I was expecting was to talk to Arnold. I put the holcom down and look to Arnold who has his eyes on the road around him.

We arrive in only twenty minutes at the same building where Melanie lives in District
