Dark District, Ch. 1

Meira swept the last of the glass into the rusty metal dustpan then dumped it into the trash and surveyed the diner, satisfied she’d gotten most of it. She would have to call Jimmy to come replace the windows tomorrow, but for now…

She glanced over at the two Desert Eagles and shoulder rig resting atop a pile of men’s clothes. She thought for a moment, decided Rubian probably wouldn’t be happy to see her, especially not with her making demands, and decided to give the rig a try.

I drove slow past the creek on the way to work today, on account of the rain. The front yard is already saturated to the point of the water not soaking in. Looks like a rice paddy.

I'm wondering if I shouldn't be at home packing the house, especially now that I know nothing inside is covered. As bad as having the garage flood was, having the house flood would be worse. We'd literally just lose everything we have.

Forecast says it's supposed to rain for the next five days...

So when we got to our house this morning, the water had completely receded. About two feet up on the side of the green Civic ('99), you could see the water line. First thing we did was open the door and try to start it. Damn if the thing didn't fire right up. Three inches of water in the floorboard, seats soaked, water pooled in the bag around the shifter and it fired right up. Shot water out the tailpipe for about three minutes, but it started. So one of the two cars in our driveway is still good.
