Alarm goes off at 8 am, a splash of cold water in the face to wake up. Breakfast, subway, work. Colleagues, wife, kids, home. Need to sleep. Loan, mortgage, debt delinquency, new smartphone. It was wise that I didn’t let them get a dog. Traffic congestion, nasty weather, don’t forget to get to the supermarket. Just let Saturday come. Shopping mall, old friend, couple of beers, kitchen, Monday. It’s just a month before my vacation. I’ll be lying on the chaise, going for breakfast and getting a suntan near the pool. All inclusive. Excursion, pyramids or castles—actually, it doesn’t matter. Gift shop. Lunch and a couple of free cocktails. The sun is glistening on the sea just as in the travel agency poster. All inclusive. Nice that it’s possible to buy the sunset! But do you really need it when you have TV?
