Part 13

Part Thirteen

He’s glancing at his wristwatch from time to time while waiting downstairs. Miggy’s watching his favorite show, CSI Miami, but his mind was party vitiated. Kanina pa siya pasulyap-sulyap sa apat na metrong corridor na nagdudugtong sa salas at sa kabilang parte kung saan nandoon ang pipitong baitang na hagdang kahoy. He didn't have his morning jog, not even a barbell to warm him up. He couldn’t go out while Casey’s still asleep so he just took small walks around the house. Hindi naman siya makapagluto dahil wala namang laman ang refrigerator, ni hindi nga umaandar. He had to ask himself how Casey could even live a life like that. May tao pa pala na nabububay na hindi gumagamit ng ref. When he woke up in the middle of the night, the lights were all shut. Iisa ang ilaw na bukas sa labas sa may tapat ng garahe, at malamlam pa na parang five volts lang na sinliwanag ng alitaptap.

What the fuck? Napamura tuloy siya kanina at tuluyan na nawala ang antok.
